Activision and Sledgehammer Games have released the first glimpse of this year’s Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: WWII. The official trailer shows off the World War II setting, where you will play a soldier in a squad in one of the most famous American divisions in the war, the 1st Infantry Division (also known as the Fighting First).

Sledgehammer has taken Call of Duty back to its roots, delivering a World War II experience for fans who may never have experience it in Call of Duty before. It has been about eight years since the last Second World War game for Call of Duty (that was World at War).
