It’s that time of year again, and after all of the leaks and rumours circulating through the CoD community in recent days and weeks, we have our first official look at the next Call of Duty game, titled Vanguard.

The teaser trailer released by Call of Duty gives us a glimpse of what to expect, with weapons and environments shown that clearly show a World War 2 setting, including a war-torn forest in Germany, a beach scattered with remains of WW2 era fighter planes, and weaponry that was in use in that period of history.

This teaser trailer is ahead of the full reveal that is coming on Thursday, through an in-game event in Call of Duty: Warzone, their free to play battle royale. This event, named the Battle of Verdansk, is very likely to operate in the same way Black Ops: Cold War was revealed in Warzone last year. Vanguard is currently being developed by Sledgehammer Games, who are the studio behind various other CoD titles, such as MW3, Advanced Warfare and their most previous release, Call of Duty: WWII.

We will most likely get more details in the days following up to the big day on Thursday, but until then we can look forward to what will definitely be an exciting reveal for Call of Duty fans around the world.
