Call of Duty: WW2 gets reveal trailer and release date
Pre-orders get early beta access.
Call of Duty: WW2 has been officially revealed in a livestream. You can see snippets of it in action in the debut trailer below:
It will launch 3rd November for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Those who pre-order will get early access to a private multiplayer beta ahead of release. No date has been set for this yet, though we know it will launch first on PS4.
There will be a social hub called Headquarters, which looks rather similar to Destiny's tower. A very brief tease showed several dozen players (we counted 46) milling about on a beach. The highest ranking player was level 55.
A co-op Zombies mode has been confirmed with "the Third Reich trying to create an army.
The game will have a "dark, irreverent tone", according to Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg. The term "boots on the ground" was thrown around more than once.
Call of Duty: WW2 is being developed by Sledgehammer Games, the team behind 2014's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Eurogamer initially reported this new, old Call of Duty setting back in March.
