About Call of Duty®: Vanguard

Call of Duty®: Vanguard poster

Call of Duty: Vanguard carries the franchise back to the Second World War, dropping players into visceral combat spread across the globe. Developed by Sledgehammer Games, this FPS entry has you dogfighting over the Pacific, airdropping into France, holding Stalingrad through a sniper's scope, and pushing through enemy lines in North Africa, all rendered on an unprecedented scale.

The package covers every angle a Call of Duty fan expects. A deeply engaging single-player Campaign anchors the experience, while a sizeable Multiplayer offering ships with more than twenty maps, sixteen of them built specifically for core play. Rounding things out is a fresh Zombies mode developed by Treyarch for those who prefer their combat against the undead.

Vanguard also supports cross-progression and cross-generation play, so you can carry your progress and squad up regardless of hardware. Alongside its maps and modes, it makes for a full-featured wartime shooter on PC for players hungry for large-scale WWII action.
