Call of Duty: Vanguard is apparently set for its formal announcement this week inside Call of Duty: Warzone, but ahead of that, Activision has released some teasers for it. The announcement of the new Call of Duty game comes amid the ongoing lawsuit from the state of California that alleges a system of sexual harassment and discrimination at Activision Blizzard.
The teaser videos were released to popular streamers, and they point to Vanguard’s story taking place, or at least referencing, events in World War II’s Pacific Front, Eastern Front, Western Front, and North Africa. According to a report, Vanguard’s story will dig into the origins of the modern allied special forces unit of the military.
