The story itself will drift between "dark and gritty themes" and "tales of heroism and sacrifice" says Condrey.
While the story follows the 1st Infantry Division, which we encountered in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, it's a wholly original story written by Sledgehammer Games, unconnected to any other title in the CoD franchise. Meanwhile, as someone who finds the history of World War II completely fascinating, I'm really excited to see how modern hardware can bring the setting to life. I'd hate to get stuck in World War 2 for three more years, and can only imagine the sort of uproar in the gaming community if that were to happen. Hopefully Activision recognizes that it's more about variety than about a demand for one particular setting. While I enjoyed all three of the last Call of Duty games ( Advanced Warfare, Blops 3, and Infinite Warfare) it's definitely time for a change of pace. One way or another, World War 2 is a welcome change from an ever more radical push into the future. "It’s been nearly ten years since the last Call of Duty was in a World War 2 setting, so it just felt right to take the game there." "World War 2 is one of the most important inflection points in the twentieth century," says Schofield. If variety is important, why not Vietnam or Korea or some other historical war? I ask Sledgehammer games studio heads Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey why they picked WW2 in particular. "We hadn’t revisited that era since World at War in 2008, and we thought Sledgehammer would do a great job with the game." "We felt WWII was definitely the right direction," Kositch adds. World War II was an 'inflection point' for the 20th century
