The PlayStation Store has just been updated early, confirming the anticipated Call of Duty: Vanguard release date. Although the newest installment of the best-selling action franchise is still a ways off, the news has come considerably sooner than expected.
As many reliable sources have anticipated, sledgehammer Games is presently developing Call of Duty: Vanguard, which will take gamers back to World War II. The game will allegedly have narrative, multiplayer, and zombie-killing modes set in the European and Pacific theaters of battle, with the plot centered on the formation of the Allied Special Forces. These aren’t the only information that has been leaked, as some keen players may already be aware.
Insider CharlieIntel, an unauthorized Call of Duty account known within the community for leaking information and breaking news about the series, broke the news on Twitter, and it quickly went viral. According to the information provided in the pictures, the purported release date of Call of Duty: Vanguard is August 19. Following that, numerous pictures show Vanguard being incorrectly listed under the newest “What’s popular” category on the PlayStation Store.
August 19 is also reported to be the day of the PlayStation State of Play, a digital event that presents the newest PlayStation news, updates, reveals, and announcements. PlayStation likely owns the marketing rights to Call of Duty: Vanguard and would like to announce the game during its reported State of Play event if one occurs at all.
This might also imply that some extra exclusives will accompany the game for the platform. However, this is to be anticipated since Activision and Sony have had a strong platform collaboration with the Call of Duty brand for some years.

Additionally, some important artwork for Call of Duty: Vanguard has been leaked onto social media. With a vast selection of firearms for players to control, ranging from bolt-action sniper rifles to heavy assault rifles and even light submachine guns, it’s safe to assume that the game won’t be short of famous World War 2 weaponry.
With that in mind, it’s wise to approach these disclosures with a healthy dose of skepticism. Despite the fact that they come from reliable sources, neither Sledgehammer Games nor Activision has issued an official remark, despite the fact that the latter is embroiled in a gender discrimination case.
