Call of Duty: WWII Delivers Gripping Action on Global Scale
Call of Duty is making a dramatic return to the greatest military conflict in history and where the franchise first began, World War II. On Friday, November 3, Call of Duty: WWII players will enlist in an unforgettable journey of brotherhood across the European theater in a mission vital to the success of the Allied powers. The all-new Call of Duty delivers gritty realism, authenticity and cinematic intensity on an epic scale. In addition to the game's boots-on-the-ground combat, Multiplayer offers a host of new modes, systems and gameplay innovations across iconic map locations; while an all-new Nazi Zombies Cooperative mode unleashes a startling, new storyline and adrenaline filled experience. Published by Activision and developed by Sledgehammer Games, Call of Duty: WWII defines the World War II game experience for a new generation of consoles.
"More than two and a-half years ago we made the decision to return this franchise to its roots, and Call of Duty: WWII does so in epic fashion," said Eric Hirshberg, Activision CEO. "The team at Sledgehammer Games is delivering an authentic, gritty, cinematic experience that honors both the epic scale, and the human struggle of the greatest war the world has ever known. This game will let longtime fans experience World War II like never before, and will introduce this historic conflict to a whole new generation of gamers in the process."
"Call of Duty: WWII has been a journey of inspiration and passion for everyone at Sledgehammer Games. The team is dedicated to delivering on the intense nature of war that focuses on the heroism and sacrifice of soldiers in WWII. Our rich narrative driven, action-packed campaign, and engaging and innovative multiplayer experience immerse players into the boots of a soldier fighting for freedom in a world on the brink of tyranny. And, our co-operative mode delivers a unique storyline that's an all-new take on Nazi Zombies that we think fans are going to love," said Michael Condrey, Studio Head and Co-Founder of Sledgehammer Games.
Added Glen Schofield, Studio Head and Co-Founder of Sledgehammer Games, "The story we're telling is unlike anything that we've tackled before. It's such an amazing journey of common everyday people who became heroes. We want to respect this great generation of soldiers, tell a realistic story set in a true inflection point in human history, and deliver the best experience of our careers."
Call of Duty: WWII takes the franchise back to its roots in a bold cinematic experience that captures the unforgettable heroism of the soldiers who fought together in a war that changed the world forever. Activision's gripping new title is an honest portrayal of World War II from the perspective of the famed 1st Infantry Division, with an ensemble cast of global and diverse characters. Through stunning visuals and intense audio, players storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, march across France to liberate Paris and ultimately push forward into Germany in some of the most monumental battles of all-time.
Call of Duty: WWII Multiplayer combat immerses players in grounded, fast-paced action featuring an arsenal of authentic weapons and equipment, set in some of the most iconic locations in World War II's European theater. Multiplayer also delivers a new approach to character and create-a-class through Divisions, War, an all-new narrative multiplayer mode of play, and Headquarters, a first of its kind for the Call of Duty social community, designed for players to interact and socialize with friends. The definitive World War II next generation experience also introduces Nazi Zombies, an all-new cooperative mode featuring a unique standalone storyline set during World War II that's full of unexpected, adrenaline-pumping action. Look for more information about Multiplayer at E3 and the Nazi Zombies cooperative experience at a later date.

「开发《使命召唤:二战》对 Sledgehammer Games 全体人员来说是一趟充满启发与热情的旅程。 我们团队致力呈现出战争轰轰烈烈的本质,并且强调二战参战士兵的英勇与牺牲。 这款游戏不但有剧情丰富、故事取向的精彩战役,也提供了创新且引人入胜的多人游戏体验,让玩家化身成在暴虐专制席卷世界之际为了捍卫自由而战的士兵。 此外,我们全新的纳粹殭尸合作模式也带来了独特的故事剧情,相信一定会受到玩家们的喜爱,」Sledgehammer Games 工作室负责人暨共同创办人 Michael Condrey 表示。
Sledgehammer Games 工作室负责人暨共同创办人 Glen Schofield 补充说到:「我们在游戏中讲述的故事将带给玩家耳目一新、与众不同的体验。 那是一趟寻常人变成英雄的精彩旅程。 我们想向二战的伟大士兵们致敬,并讲述这个人类历史上重大转折点的写实故事,同时创造出我们职业生涯中最棒的游戏体验。 」
动视CEO Eric Hirshberg说:“现在看起来,设定在未来的作品显然太多了,而它(《使命召唤:无限战争》)恰好是其中之一。有了现在的知识,如果我们可以提前一年推出《使命召唤:二战》的话,那么考虑到当时的玩家文化,很显然时机就会更好一些。但是我们都是提前三年决定游戏开发日程的。我们当时就已经获得了足够多的反馈,让我们决定是时候回归我们的本源了。”
