Call of Duty: WWII will begin with the invasion of Normandy, quite possibly the most famous battle of the entire war. Players will then “fight their way across Europe” and strike at the heart of the Nazi war machine in Germany:
Call of Duty: WWII tells the story of Private Ronald “Red” Daniels, a young recruit in the U.S. First Infantry Division who experiences combat for the first time on D-Day, one of the largest amphibious assaults in history. After surviving the beaches of Normandy, Red and his squad will fight their way across Europe, engaging the enemy in iconic battle locations such as the Hürtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge, as they make their way into Germany.
