Call of Duty: Vanguard Reveals Gaming PC Technical Requirements

The upcoming Call of Duty: Vanguard is set to be the complete package for Call of Duty fans across Campaign, Online Multiplayer, and Zombies co-operative modes. Players, new and old alike, will witness the origins of Special Forces as they change the face of history, forming Task Force One in a sprawling World War II narrative campaign spanning the Eastern and Western fronts of Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa. Multiplayer features 20 maps on day one at launch. While Zombies fans will experience a signature undead gameplay experience, marking a franchise-first Zombies crossover for Call of Duty.

And that’s not all—later this year, Call of Duty: Vanguard players will be immersed in a fully integrated, new Call of Duty: Warzone experience featuring a brand-new map, new gameplay, and new experiences. Together, this is the most connected Call of Duty ever, all powered by the next-generation Call of Duty engine introduced in Modern Warfare.

It’s time to rise up on every front.
