Call of Duty: Vanguard, the latest iteration from Activision, was finally released worldwide and is the eighteenth installment in the Call of Duty franchise. Developed by Sledgehammer Games, the game is based on the events of the Second World War, a theme that set the tone for the original titles.
Call of Duty: Vanguard comes out at the same time globally but differs in local times. Here are the unlock times: 9:30 am IST/12 am EDT/4 am GMT/5 am CET/4 am GMT.
Call of Duty: Vanguard is available for all the mainstream gaming devices, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Battle.net launcher.
All details about Call of Duty: Vanguard
Campaign length
In recent years, campaigns in COD haven’t been that long. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War had campaign lengths of around 5 hours and 7 hours, respectively.
Call of Duty: Vanguard won’t be different either. It consists of nine missions, and each one will be approximately 30 to 45 minutes long.
Doing the math, the story mode of this title will be over in a matter of 7 hours if everything is completed in optimal time. Ultimately, it will depend on how long the player will take to complete the main and side missions.
Apart from the campaign, Call of Duty: Vanguard offers other content like competitive multiplayer that includes multiple modes and maps and the return of the Zombies mode, allowing gamers to battle through the undead to stay alive.
