Vanguard’s Zombies mode was revealed in all its glory in October 2021. Even better, the mode's original creator, Treyarch, is working on this most recent iteration. Zombies fans rejoice, as the popular wave-based co-operative mode is returning in Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Finally, there's American naval aviator Wade Jackson, who is likely based on Vernon Micheel.

While Call of Duty: Vanguard will remain an ahistorical take on the second World War, its playable characters in the campaign do seem to have roots in real historical figures – Polina Petrova looks to be inspired by famous female Soviet sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko.īritish paratrooper Arthur Kingsley looks to be directly inspired by Sidney Cornell, while Lucas Riggs is likely a fictional Australian take on New Zealand's Charles Upham. Sledgehammer Games have since revealed some extra context on Vanguard's setting and story, stating that the game tells "the untold stories of multinational heroes that formed Task Force One, changing the face of history and setting the stage for special forces as we know it." As such, Vanguard could be the most ambitious Call of Duty to date when it comes to the second World War setting. This was later confirmed in the original teaser trailer which showcased a World War 2 setting across numerous theaters of conflict, and later built upon in the recent reveal trailer. Call of Duty: Vanguard will return to the second World War, which was originally revealed via a report by ModernWarzone (via GamesRadar ), which was later verified by both Eurogamer and VGC.
