Call of Duty: Vanguard, developed by Sledgehammer Games, is the latest iteration of the long-running, annualized first-person military shooter franchise, Call of Duty.
Call of Duty: Vanguard takes the series back to the Second World War-era setting of the original titles. Developed on the same engine as 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Vanguard takes the players behind enemy lines to play as the first special operatives.
With a vast arsenal filled with in-depth customization, Call of Duty: Vanguard is shaping up to be a fantastic game.
