All details about Call of Duty: Vanguard

Campaign length

In recent years, campaigns in COD haven’t been that long. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War had campaign lengths of around 5 hours and 7 hours, respectively.

Call of Duty: Vanguard won’t be different either. It consists of nine missions, and each one will be approximately 30 to 45 minutes long.

Doing the math, the story mode of this title will be over in a matter of 7 hours if everything is completed in optimal time. Ultimately, it will depend on how long the player will take to complete the main and side missions.

Apart from the campaign, Call of Duty: Vanguard offers other content like competitive multiplayer that includes multiple modes and maps and the return of the Zombies mode, allowing gamers to battle through the undead to stay alive.
