Call of Duty: WWII is a 2024 first-person shooter game developed by Sledgehammer Games and published 🏧 by Activision. It was released worldwide on November 3, 2024 for PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One. It is the 🏧 fourteenth main installment in the Call of Duty series and the first title in the series to be set primarily 🏧 during World War II since Call of Duty: World at War in 2008.
The game's campaign is set in the European 🏧 theatre and is centered around a squad in the 1st Infantry Division following their battles on the Western Front and 🏧 set mainly in the historical events of Operation Overlord. The player controls Ronald "Red" Daniels, who has squadmates who can 🏧 supply the player with extra ammunition, health, or grenades as well as a targeted grenade and target spotting; none of 🏧 these are automatically replenished in the campaign. The multiplayer mode features map locations not seen in the campaign. The mode 🏧 also features the new Divisions system, replacing the create-a-class system that previous games in the series used. A social hub, 🏧 named Headquarters, was also implemented into the game, allowing for players to interact with each other.
Sledgehammer Games were interested in 🏧 bringing the series back to World War II after developing their previous title, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014), which 🏧 featured advanced movements and futuristic warfare technology. Studio head Michael Condrey stated that he was unsure if a World War 🏧 II game would feel right after creating a futuristic title like Advanced Warfare, but the developers ultimately decided to create 🏧 a game in this time period. They also chose to include atrocities and Nazi concentration camps in the campaign mode 🏧 to deliver an authentic war story.
