This game was released on November 03, 2017 and is no longer available to pre-order. Any incentives that were offered are listed below.

Developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision, Call of Duty: WWII returns to the series’ roots. Starting with the D-Day landing in Normandy, the players will step into the shoes of private Ronald “Red” Daniels of the US 1st Infantry Division, and battle through Europe in faithfully reproduced locations, experiencing the bonds of brotherhood between common men, and the unforgiving nature of the bloodiest war in history.

On top of the single-player campaign, Call of Duty: WW2 offers a standalone co-op featuring Nazi Zombies and adrenaline-filled gameplay. The game also has traditional multiplayer with “visceral, boots-on-the-ground combat”, according to the publisher. The virtual lobby from Advanced Warfare has been evolved into Headquarters, a social space which offers new ways to interact and socialize with online friends and the CoD community. Another new addition to the franchise is the narrative-driven War mode, which features asymmetric gameplay with unique objectives for each team.

Pre-order Bonuses

Call of Duty: WWII - Private Beta Details

The first bonus for reserving a copy of Call of Duty: WWII was access to the Private Beta multiplayer test (now concluded on both consoles and PC). On release, those who participated in the beta will receive a Private Beta Combat Pack for use in multiplayer, which consists of a unique helmet, calling card, and emblem.

The second bonus, available at all participating retailers as well as digitally, is the animated purple lightning Nazi Zombies Weapon Camo depicted above. Rest assured that this less-than-realistic camo will only be usable in Zombies mode so as not to break immersion.

Call of Duty: WWII - Multiplayer Upgrade

The third and latest bonus to be announced is the Multiplayer Upgrade, which provides a token for unlocking a single weapon of your choice on day one, plus double multiplayer XP for 4 hours.

Any additional retailer- or system-exclusive bonuses are listed below:
