The Call Of Duty: WWII story trailer was released and it features blood, gunshots, explosions and the spoils of war. The game is played against the Nazis and the Sledgehammer co-founder Michael Condrey said in May that the new CoD will not give players the opportunity to view the war from the German perspective. Talking about the narrative and the storytelling of the new game, Michael Condrey said,

We’re storytellers, part of that narrative is having fans really be able to experience that for themselves. We don’t want to get into mass graves or things like that. I don’t want to get into the full narrative arc, but suffice it to say there is a flux in human history because of the power of those atrocities committed and we want to tell the whole story.

Publisher of the new Call Of Duty: WWII, Activision said:

Call of Duty: WWII tells the story of Private Ronald ‘Red’ Daniels, a young recruit in the U.S. First Infantry Division who experiences combat for the first time on D-Day, one of the largest amphibious assaults in history. After surviving the beaches of Normandy, Red and his squad will fight their way across Europe, engaging the enemy in iconic battle locations such as the Hürtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge, as they make their way into Germany.

The trailer reveals young men in the middle of a war in foreign territory and the aftermath of the war of that scale. There’s no first-person gameplay shown in the trailer, instead, the trailer focuses on the characters, highlighting the facial capture work done to harness their likenesses and performances. While the trailer doesn’t show Nazi concentration camps, it does show trains rounding up Jews. The emphasis on the Nazis being the villain is also quite evident in the trailer. The main villain has a big scar across his face making him visually more unpleasant.

Call of Duty: WWII will be out on November 3. A multiplayer beta is set to be released for PC on September 29. The game will be released for the following platforms:
