Call of Duty: WWII — The D-Day landing at Omaha Beach

Call of Duty: WWII debuts on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 3. We got an early look at the game at a review event, and we recorded footage of the opening battle on D-Day. Operation Overlord was the most dramatic event for the Americans in the war, and Sledgehammer chose to open the single-player game with a bloody scene of the carnage on Omaha Beach.

Sledgehammer chose to focus on a historically accurate setting for Call of Duty, taking the game back to its origins. The game is one of the most anticipated for the coming the holiday season, according to a study by Nielsen research. The Call of Duty franchise has sold more than 250 million units and generated $15 billion in sales since 2003. On average, that is more than 17 million units and $1 billion worth sold per year.
