It’s a little odd hearing so many of the developers talk about untold tales from World War 2, when they also point out that Vanguard’s story is fictional. Yes, its characters have real world inspirations, as they discuss, but here they’re fighting against “the Fourth Reich” in battles that never took place.

Speaking during a panel at New York Comic Con, Vanguard writer Sam Maggs said that they hoped to make Vanguard 2 and 3 featuring the same characters.

I was going to glibly argue that surely Captain Price is Call Of Duty’s flagship character, but then I couldn’t remember his name and had to type “corporal moustache call of duty” into Google to find it.

Vanguard will launch on November 5th, withopen betas having already taken place. Meanwhile, publishersActivision Blizzard continue to face several lawsuits related to an allegedly toxic workplace culture.
