Call of Duty: Vanguard is the next entry in the popular first-person shooter series, taking players back to World War II.
Vanguard will not be a sequel to Call of Duty: WW2, as it will establish its own storyline and cast of characters.
There will be a single-player campaign mode, online multiplayer with 20 maps at launch, and a co-op Zombies mode that will act as the prologue to the Black Ops Cold War story.

Multipayer
Call of Duty: Vanguard will be introducing a new multiplayer mode called ‘Champion Hill’, which sees two small teams face off against each other until the last man is standing.
There will be Solos (1v1), Duos (2v2) and Trios (3v3) options, with 12 lives (18 in Trios) shared with your teammates. Four maps will be available at launch for Champion Hill.
All players will begin the game with the same loadout, but will be able to purchase better weapons and gear with the in-game currency you’ve earned during the match. This sounds very similar to games such as Valorant and the Apex Legends Arena mode.
Developer Sledgehammer has also detailed another new mode called Patrol: “Based on Hardpoint, this objective-based mode features a scoring zone in near-constant motion; if Operators want to rack up points for their team, they should keep up and move around the map within this Patrol point.”
The more familiar Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Search and Destroy multiplayer modes will also be available to play, as well as the co-op Zombies venture.
