Call of Duty: Vanguard Trailer Highlights Explosive Story Mode

A new trailer for Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty: Vanguard is live and after all of the recent multiplayer details, this one focuses more on the story. It showcases the various theaters of war that players will battle across, from the Pacific and North Africa to the Western and Eastern Fronts. Check it out below.

Acting as a sort of origin story for the special forces Task Force One, Vanguard sees Arthur Kingsley, Polina Petrova (who was the focus of the campaign reveal), Wade Jackson and Lucas Riggs battling against the Nazis. In a sort of alternate history scenario, the majority of the story is set after Hitler’s death with Heinrich Freisinger of the Gestapo now in charge. It’s Task Force One’s duty to take him out.

Of course, this is only one of the campaigns that will be present – Zombies mode, which is handled by Treyarch, also has its own story. As a prologue to the story in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, it continues the Dark Aether storyline. Call of Duty: Vanguard is out on November 5th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC so stay tuned for more gameplay in the coming weeks.
