Shown early Wednesday afternoon, the preview shows a long streak of play featuring Polina Petrova, a Russian sniper fighting in Stalingrad on the Eastern Front. Loaded with action, the passage obviously sees her using a sniper rifle, but also a shotgun during intense close-range clashes.
Interestingly, the video allows you to see that Vanguard does not seem to offer only pure and hard FPS, but also a few moments of climbing and light platforming, which are reminiscent of certain first-person adventure titles.
Officially unveiled last Thursday, the next Call of Duty will take players to four different fronts of the global conflict: East, West, Pacific and North Africa.
The campaign story should draw inspiration from real WWII fighters and events, but will also delve into historical fiction, as there will also be a team tasked with derailing the post-war plans of the Nazi Party, who is looking for a successor to Hitler after the fall of Berlin.
For its part, from its launch, the multiplayer mode of Vanguard must have no less than 20 cards that will cover the four fronts of the conflict.
Recall that the unveiling of Call of Duty: Vanguard set as Activision Blizzard is in turmoil, after a California state agency filed a lawsuit against the company on July 20 for “violating state civil rights and equal pay ”.
The document mentions in particular the toxic work climate that reigns within the company, as well as numerous cases of harassment and discrimination against the group’s female staff.
Amid the uproar, Blizzard President J. Allen Brack resigned in early August, replaced by a management team of Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra.
