After a tease from Activision on Call of Duty's Twitter account, the company confirmed the news in a statement disclosing Vanguard's title and reveal time:

"On August 19 at 10:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. ET, the Battle of Verdansk will begin in Call of Duty: Warzone. Join the battle and experience the worldwide reveal of Call of Duty: Vanguard live in-game.

"Be the first to the fight and be rewarded—report to Call of Duty: Warzone and play in any playlist between 9:30 a.m. PT / 12:30 p.m. ET and 10:29 a.m. PT / 1:29 p.m. ET and prepare to participate in a limited-time Double XP, Double Weapon XP, and Double Battle Pass XP event before the battle begins," the statement added.

The news came after the PlayStation store prematurely revealed the event via a listing on their digital storefront.

Call of Duty: Vanguard was first teased after the release of Warzone's Season 5 when players noticed that the post-victory scene was modified.

Instead of simply escaping on the helicopter, the last player will get shot down by a woman in a World War 2 Soviet uniform, teasing the World War 2 setting for Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Earlier this month Daniel Alegre, Activision Blizzard’s president and chief operations officer confirmed that Call of Duty: Vanguard will be a cross-gen title at launch:

“Our teams remain hard at work on the next new premium Call of Duty release, planned for the fourth quarter, from a setting that our fans know and love to an incredible amount of content in development, including an extensive live ops schedule, we believe this release will be incredibly well received."

Fans of the franchise looking to get their hands on some bonus XP and a care package will have to sign tomorrow 19th August, in Warzone at 10.00am PST / 1.30pm EST / 6.30pm BST.
