<Tr> <Th> Genre (s) </Th> <Td> First - person shooter </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Mode (s) </Th> <Td> Single - player, multiplayer </Td> </Tr> <P> Call of Duty: WWII is an upcoming first - person shooter video game developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One . It is the fourteenth primary installment and first Call of Duty series game to be set primarily during World War II since Call of Duty: World at War in 2008 . The game is set in European theatre of the war . The campaign is centered around a squad in the 1st Infantry Division, and follows their battles in the Western Front, while the multiplayer expands on different fronts not seen in the campaign . The game is scheduled to be released worldwide on November 3, 2017 . </P> <P> Similar to its predecessors, Call of Duty: WWII is a first - person shooter game but it removes the advanced system of movement present in the three previous Call of Duty titles, which included double jumping and wall running . Instead, it features a return of traditional movement to the series, taking it back to a "boots on the ground" gameplay style . The game does not feature an unlimited sprint mechanic, seen in the previous two titles . Instead of a "slide" movement mechanic, which allowed players to slide quickly on the ground, WWII features a "hit - the - deck" mechanic that allows the player to leap forward and throw themselves on the ground in order to get to cover quickly, similarly to a previous mechanic known as "dolphin dive" in Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II . </P>
