The new Call Of Duty game for 2021 has finally been leaked, although not officially announced, and it’s going to be called Vanguard. While there is little to discuss at this moment, the leak gave us enough to whet the appetite, and it looks as though it’s going to be set post WW2 after the Nazis lose the war.

The new COD aims to be historically accurate with the in-game characters to be based on real-life people. Vanguard is going to have a dynamic environment, which is massive for the franchise, with destruction and in-game objects that actually move when blown up.

We know there is going to be an open beta early access for those that pre order the Ultimate edition of the game. Other pre order bonuses appear to include character skins and new weapons.

There looks to be an Alpha playtest for the new Call of Duty as soon as September, with the Beta following in October, before finally being released in November. Remember this is all subject to change as there are no official announcements just yet.

 

Call Of Duty Vanguard Requirements

As this game is going to be using a similar engine to Modern Warfare 2019, we can guess that the system requirements for PC are roughly going to be the same. Of course, with the addition of dynamic environments, the new Call Of Duty is likely to be a bit more taxing.

  • Processor – Intel Core i3-4340 or AMD FX-6300
  • Graphics Card – Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 / GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon HD 7950 – DirectX 12.0 compatible

Recommended System Requirements

The Leaks suggest there is a huge event coming and a trailer with the official announcement also due out in the coming weeks, sit tight!
