Call of Duty 2021 will be available for both current and next-gen consoles, with deep integration with Warzone. The 2021 Call of Duty game will be called Call of Duty: Vanguard and take place during the WWII era. Activision now appears to confirm the game’s name as Vanguard, in the first teaser for the game.

Sledgehammer Games is leading the development of Call of Duty 2021. The studio has been rebuilding its team after a few turbulent years. The studio recently unveiled their new logo and updated their website.

How is Call of Duty: Vanguard poised

Fans can expect the Call of Duty 2021 title to run on Modern Warfare’s engine. This will certainly better align its gameplay mechanics with Warzone’s experience.

There’s no indication yet as to when Activision plans to reveal the 2021 Call of Duty title. The CoD developers will most likely reveal the game within Call of Duty: Warzone, similar to Black Ops Cold War.

The game will feature an “extensive” live ops post launch release schedule that will “excite” the community when Activision announces its launch.
