In only a few days Call of Duty®: Vanguard will release, and we couldn’t be more excited for fans everywhere to experience the theatre of war like never before. Vanguard is the full Call of Duty package after more than two years of groundbreaking expansion into several new territories for our franchise. Vanguard’s release reflects the unprecedented breadth and depth of Call of Duty content experiences, including a gripping single-player story mode, 20 multiplayer maps on Day 1, the first-ever Zombies crossover with last year’s title, and the deepest integration yet with the all-new Warzone™ Pacific map, Caldera. It’s a ton of content and a ton of fun for everyone.

But Vanguard’s release is just the beginning -- the first step in what will be a continuing and evolving journey. Post-launch support plans are locked and loaded as only Call of Duty can deliver. Vanguard players’ experiences will significantly continue and expand over time with new and free content and experiences coming to players in the weeks and months ahead.

With Vanguard as the first phase, Warzone’s Pacific map is the second phase. When the new free-to-play Warzone experience launches next month, Call of Duty players will more fully realize the complete package of Vanguard + Warzone at their fingertips. These two titles represent an unprecedented amount of content, and together will create the most integrated and deepest live ops calendar ever in Call of Duty.

Going beyond the content, we are focused on delivering a fun and fair experience for all players. There’s no place for cheating.  It’s for this reason, we are launching RICOCHET Anti-Cheat™, an all-out anti-cheat initiative that begins with Vanguard and will continue with Warzone Pacific, when the new anti-cheat kernel level driver will be live. 

There is equally no room for toxic behavior. We do not tolerate racism, hatred, or harassment, and are committed to taking steps now and going-forward to rid these from impacting our community. We look forward to sharing more information soon on the progress we’re making, and our renewed push to come.

This is just the start of continued innovation from our franchise. We are listening and learning each and every day from our players around the world. We look forward to sharing in the fun and joy of playing together, and what is shaping up to be the best year of content for fans.

It all starts this Friday.
