Meet the pioneer.
The Call of Duty: Vanguard story trailer has just been released and introduces the team at the heart of the campaign.
The trailer, which you can view below, begins as a bleak reflection on the nature of war in the midst of a naval battle. The action quickly shifts to a more urban setting with war on a train and in the middle of a ruined city.
But from there we meet the characters who will bring the story of Vanguard to life; The main character, Arthur Kingsley, leads the team along with the demolitionist Lucas, ace pilot Wade, the fearsome Russian sniper Helena, and Kingsley's ever-reliable right-hand man Richard. We also meet the formidable enemy Freisinger, who aims to bring his own new order in the last days of Hitler's rule.
It's the roller coaster of a trailer that takes the action from the frozen jungles of Russia to the deserts of North Africa to the streets of Berlin, with some parts being seemingly secretly routed and others showcasing the explosive bomb of the conflict. There is also a rather brutal looking torture scene that sees some of our heroes on the wrong side of a scary looking German doctor.
The trailer confirms that digital pre-orders will automatically give Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War players instant access to Night Raid Mastercraft weapons and Kingsley as the operator. The game itself will be released on November 5.
