Leaks about the upcoming Activision game Call of Duty: WWII has been flowing over the last few months, which provided the media and gamers a rough picture of what the game is going to be. With the official reveal of the title, the publisher filled in some of the holes that have left the gaming community wondering. Although there is a lot of mystery remaining, the reveal still clarified a number of things, courtesy of the live stream and the trailer.
With regards to the campaign, it seems the start of the game throws the players right into the thick of it by being a member of the 1st Infantry Division, Forbes reports. The trailer takes viewers right from the boat landing to the fighting on the beach of Normandy. From there, history buffs will likely already know that the story mode will take players right through Europe until they finally arrive in Nazi-occupied Germany.
This isn’t the first time the franchise went this route, with Call of Duty 2: Big Red One also presenting similar missions. The biggest difference with the upcoming title and its predecessor is, of course, the updated graphics. With gorgeous HD characters and environments, the gore, blood, and death will look a lot more realistic and traumatic.
For the Multiplayer, COD: WWII will come with something called Headquarters, which is basically like a social space for the players. There’s also Divisions, which takes players through the enlistment process during the war, War Mode for those who like team versus team sessions, and the standard PVP Boots-on-the-Ground.
It would seem that Nazi Zombies will be making a return to the series, so that’s always fun. The game’s release date is slated for November 3rd and it will be a cross-platform title.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a Call of Duty announcement without controversy and it seems this time, it has to do with diversity. Polygon seems to be of the opinion that Activision’s attempt at inclusion is “tone-deaf” and reductive.
This has to do with some parts of the game’s reveal, which noted how the title has “women, an African-American unit and even a child,” which the publication takes issue with. Then again, one could argue that the rush to judgment is a little premature, considering that the game has yet to be released.
