The company claims that Vanguard features the deepest integration yet with Warzone, which will launch the new Warzone Pacific, including the new Caldera map on December 2.
Vanguard will follow the origin of the Special Forces fighting across four major theatres of World War II. The multiplayer mode consists of 20 maps, 12 operators, and over three dozen weapons on day one. This time along, Activision has also added a Combat Pacing system, along with the new multi-arena survival Champion Hill mode.
The game also comes with a franchise-first Zombies crossover developed by Treyarch. With this, Activision is expanding upon the Dark Aether storyline, which was introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Season One of Call of Duty: Warzone for Vanguard will begin December 2. Operator, Weapon, and Battle Pass progression will be synchronized across Vanguard, Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare.
The game comes with unified progression and supports cross-play across next-generation and current-generation systems. The company claims that this is the largest amount of new release content ever coming to Warzone, which includes a new map, operators, weapons, and planes as well as shared progression, and exclusive access to the Warzone Pacific.
