'Call of Duty' is Officially Going Back to WWII

Fans who want more details about "Call of Duty: WWII" will be able to tune in to get the first look and get some information on the studio's vision for the game. These games were all excellent in their day, but subsequent series likeModern Warfare and Black Ops pushed Call of Duty to new heights, at least from sales and multiplayer perspectives.

We are already familiar with Call of Duty: WWII since last month when it was leaked.

The decision to do a complete 180, after all the time spent developing a futuristic Call of Duty, is an interesting one.

Activision published a blog post reviewing the franchise's WWII roots from the first Call of Duty to World at War.

Call of Duty is heading back to World War 2 later this year in the latest game from publisher Activision and developer Sledgehammer Games.

After the response from Infinite Warfare, Activision had expressed interest in bringing the series "back to its roots", which led to many rumors of a World War II era game being next.

It was pretty obvious that the marketing leaks from a few weeks ago were real and now it's been confirmed: this year's new Call Of Duty is subtitled simply WWII. But it's hard to believe that WWII can be the start of a successful new series for Call of Duty. The ad shows the same November 3rd release date that's been revealed by the leaked promotional material from last week. The full reveal trailer for the game is set to debut Wednesday, April 26 at 10 AM PST. Well, there's nothing more grounded than World War II.

Call of Duty games have incorporated co-operative play in some form over the years, whether it be with Zombies or specifically designed multiplayer missions for you and some friends to undertake.

For all the passionate fans and haters of wall-running and jetpacks, we're with you.
