Vanguard Zombies is the prequel to Cold War Zombies, that much we know. However, the connections between the two run much deeper. Vanguard Zombies is set in the 1940s, roughly 40 years prior to the events of Cold War Zombies.

The award-winning Sledgehammer Games is leading development on Call of Duty: Vanguard. It is scheduled for a worldwide release on Friday, November 5, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Battle.
