Other than that bit of vital information, there are some other details that we have been able to find that we believe to be true.<\/p>\n<p>WW2 will be the setting once again with European and Pacific locations said to be featured, according to the latest rumours. The story is said to focus on the rising of the Special Forces, which in WW2 began with the British Commandos at the request of then Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who was looking to create \u201cspecially trained troops of the hunter class, who can develop a reign of terror down the enemy coast\u201d \u2013 sounds primed for a CoD game, then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/call-of-duty-games-order-complete-list\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">All the Call of Duty games in order<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/cod-rambo-die-hard-free\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">CoD 80s Action Heroes Event<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/cod-update-29th-april-patch-notes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">Call of Duty weekly update<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><h2>How will Call of Duty Vanguard change CoD Warzone?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1157304\" align=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/call-of-duty-warzone-708706d.png?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;call\" title=\"&quot;call-of-duty-warzone&quot;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Word is that the Warzone battle royale game, which is currently set in the 80s, will transform into a WW2 setting to match Vanguard\u2019s release, which we can\u2019t wait to see. With this will come a brand new map,\u00a0 completely different by the sound of things, and it will be a heck of a lot bigger than the Verdansk location we currently have. The larger map is rumoured to be in the Pacific, which means there is more distance to travel, so look for new vehicles to be added too.<\/p> <h2><strong>Which consoles and platforms will Call of Duty Vanguard be on?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>VGC\u2019s leak-laden report claims that CoD: Vanguard with launch on <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/ps5-preorder\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">PS5<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/pre-order-xbox-series-x-best-deals\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Xbox Series X<\/a>\/S, as well as the older PS4 and Xbox One consoles.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/nintendo-switch-oled-pre-order-buy-uk\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Nintendo Switch<\/a> release seems unlikely at this point \u2013 there has not been a CoD release on a Nintendo platform since Ghosts \u2013 but PC players are almost guaranteed to be able to pick it up to play.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there a trailer for Call of Duty Vanguard?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Activision has shared an official teaser trailer for Call of Duty: Vanguard, which clocks in at just under two minutes in length.
