Call Of Duty: WWII campaign details are coming Sept. 18, and there are lots of exciting reveals to look forward to. A new tweet from the official Call Of Duty account outlines everything fans can expect to see over the next few days. The tweet, seen below, reads as follows:
Welcome to the Front Lines: Starting Sept. 18 we’re bringing you a week of #CODWWII intel. Prepare for your mission briefing.
- Day 1 [Sept. 18]: Story trailer
- Day 2: Meet the squad
- Day 3: Meet your allies
- Day 4: Real battles, real history.
While it’s believed the four reveals might carry from Sept. 18 through Sept. 21, the tweet itself doesn’t necessarily confirm that. After all, the message promises a week’s worth of intel with only four days outlined. That suggests either there’s a slight spread between these announcements or there are some additional ones in the works that aren’t listed here. Whatever the case may be, we’re excited to find out.
That being said, even though we haven’t seen much of the Call Of Duty: WWII campaign, there’s a fair amount we know about it through official statements and teasers. Players take control of Private Ronald “Red” Daniels as he joins the First Infantry Division on their march through the conflict’s European theater from 1944 - 45. Key characters include Operations Executive Edgar Crowley, Private Robert Zussman, a French resistance fighter named Rousseau and Sergeant William Pierson played by Transformers’ Josh Duhamel.
While not overtly connected to the campaign, it would seem this month’s multiplayer Private Beta may have offered some additional campaign clues as well. The connection has yet to be proven, but short audio messages found on each of the beta’s maps signaled ties to the Prosper Spy Network and a potential D-Day campaign. If that analysis winds up being correct, we expect to learn more about it on Day 4.
In contrast to the game’s multiplayer modes, which focus on avatars and freedom of expression, Call Of Duty: WWII’s single-player action promises to be firmly rooted in the true events of World War II. It’s here that we’ll see references to Nazis and their hate-fueled symbolism. Game directors also teased that racial tension between squadmates will be a central theme throughout the story as well. For all intents and purposes, the Call Of Duty: WWII campaign is Sledgehammer’s own Band Of Brothers story. Starting next week we’ll have a clearer picture of what that truly means.
Call Of Duty: WWII comes to PS4, Xbox One and PC Nov. 3.
