Players turn the tides of war to experience World War II like never before in Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Vanguard delivers the complete package to Call of Duty fans across Campaign, online Multiplayer and Zombies co-operative modes. Players will witness the origins of Special Forces as they change the face of history, forming Task Force One in a sprawling World War II narrative campaign spanning the Eastern and Western fronts of Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa. Multiplayer features 20 maps on day one at launch. While Zombies fans will experience a signature undead gameplay experience, marking a franchise-first Zombies crossover for Call of Duty.

Later this year, Vanguard players will be immersed in a fully integrated, new Call of Duty: Warzone experience featuring a brand-new map, new gameplay and new experiences. Together, this is the most connected Call of Duty ever, all powered by the next-generation Call of Duty engine introduced in Modern Warfare.

It's time to rise on every front.

Triller's VERZUZ is teaming with Call of Duty to celebrate the world premiere of Call of Duty: Vanguard at an evening extravaganza on Wednesday, November 3 beginning at 6:00PM in Downtown LA that will be broadcast live across Call of Duty, Triller and VERZUZ channels.

Vanguard's release reflects unprecedented breadth and depth of Call of Duty content experiences for fans, including a gripping single-player story mode, 20 multiplayer maps on Day 1, the first-ever zombies crossover with last year's title, and the deepest integration yet with the all-new Warzone Pacific map, Caldera.

The epic-themed event produced by VERZUZ and parent company Triller will feature a night of not-to-be-missed entertainment, including a live musical performance under a new VERZUZ GAMEZ banner by the Grammy-nominated hip hop supergroup Migos, featuring members Quavo, Offset and Takeoff, as well as a Call of Duty + VERZUZ battle entirely within Vanguard's Multiplayer mode. Additional celebrity showdowns will be highlighted on the new game's Eastern and Western fronts. The winning team will face off against Migos for the title, followed by a live Migos performance.

"Partnering with VERZUZ to create an unforgettable musical and gameplay experience is the perfect way to introduce Call of Duty: Vanguard to the world," said Tyler Bahl, Vice President and Head of Marketing, Activision. "It's going to be an incredible show, and we're thrilled we can share the excitement with our community."

"We're excited to join our friends at Call of Duty to create a cultural moment that will resonate with fans around the world," said Mahi de Silva, CEO of TrillerNet, parent company of Triller and VERZUZ. "We're also looking forward to growing our relationship with Activision, and our new VERZUZ GAMEZ platform we are launching soon, but the meantime, we can't wait to hit the battlefields in Call of Duty: Vanguard. It's going to be a massive hit."

Fans tuning in to the premiere broadcast on (name all access points) will also experience a live orchestra playing alongside the Vanguard campaign and as well as celebrities, Call of Duty League (CDL) pros, influencers and special guests all walking a first-of-its-kind "camo" carpet at the event.
