It's that time of year again: E3 2017 is just on the horizon. From June 10-15, we'll be covering the biggest games and hardware announcements of 2017 and beyond. While you can check out our continually-updated Games of E3 List, we're now going to start diving deeper.
Every day leading up to the show, we'll be highlight the stuff we want to see and play at E3 2017. Today's game: Call of Duty: WWII
Developer Sledgehammer Games debuted Call of Duty: WWII at a live event back in April. The reveal focused on the series returning back to its World War II roots, with a campaign focused on a group of American soldiers making their way through France and into Germany. While single-player was the focus, multiplayer and zombies modes were both briefly touched upon.
It’s safe to say that a lot of us have recently become fatigued with the future-tech movement that so many first-person shooters have taken ever since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Given that the series hasn’t delivered a WWII-set campaign since World at War back in 2008 – an entire console generation ago – the prospect of playing through a more grounded, human story is certainly compelling and refreshing. Couple this with the fact that Sledgehammer’s last Call of Duty game, Advanced Warfare, delivered a fantastic campaign, and Call of Duty: WWII immediately vaulted to one of our most anticipated games of 2017.
Call of Duty: WWII will absolutely be at E3 2017. Sledgehammer and Activision promised a full hands-on multiplayer reveal at the big show in June. Given the game’s marketing partnership with PlayStation 4, count on Call of Duty: WWII being showcased at Sony’s conference on the evening of June 12.
