Call Of Duty is going back to basics as the next game will be set in World War II

The rumours proved to be correct.

The next Call of Duty is going back to World War II, just as it was speculated in March. Following last year's Infinite Warfare, a game set far in the future, it's now known that, like the first three games in the series, WWII will be the setting for the new edition of the game. A tweet confirming the worldwide reveal of 'Call of Duty WWII' on April 26 was sent from the official COD twitter account on Friday afternoon. https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/855466578413969408

Sledgehammer Games, the Call of Duty-focused studio that developed 2011’s Modern Warfare 3 and Advanced Warfare from 2014, have been working on COD WWII.

Until the reveal next week, not a lot more is known about the new game other than the details given above. A livestream is scheduled for April 26, which is expected to bring more information about the game, including details about the shooter.

We, along with many, many others, are eagerly counting down the hours already. Catch up with this week's episode of 888Sport Football Friday Live
