Latest Updates: August 16th – Call of Duty Vanguard Release date announced for November 5th, with official game reveal coming August 19th.
As many will know, Call Of Duty Vanguard, the latest in the franchise from Sledgehammer Games has had some files leaked. The leak was sprung from a recent Season 5 update and showcased some interesting artwork, giving away the game’s overall theme, a few characters, and most importantly a Call Of Duty Vanguard Open Beta Early Access.
As it hasn’t been officially announced yet, the release date is still technically unknown, however, recent leaks point towards the 5th of November as the release date, which follows the franchise’s usual release dates for previous titles.
So it looks as though the full game is going to be released around the 5th of November and if we use Cold War as an example, the Open Beta Early Access could be available around the first week of October. Normally, they let you pre-load the Beta in preparation for the event, which can sometimes be split over two separate sessions.
It looks as though the alpha playtest may only be one month away!
It looks as though you will need to Pre Order Call Of Duty Vanguard to secure early access to the open beta. This is nothing new, however, it may only be for the Ultimate Edition buyers, as shown in some of the recent leaks.
Digital pre order customers on Xbox and PC may get to play at different times to Playstation but all respective platforms will likely be able to download the beta from a first-party store, which will prompt you to download when it becomes available.
The Vanguard Beta size is unknown at this stage, however, Cold War was around 31GB on PS4, 21GB on Xbox One, and 40GB on PC. Until there is an official announcement, it is all conjecture at this moment in time.
As it has been rumored this is going to be using the same engine as the one used for Modern Warfare 2019, we are going to loosely base our system requirements on that. Please remember though, nothing is officially confirmed and it is possible the game will require a bit more juice than stated here.
