Though the beta contained some gameplay mechanic issues, it felt exciting and novel, with potential for the upcoming release if Sledgehammer Games takes community feedback seriously. The multiplayer beta - a prerelease opportunity for the public to try the game’s multiplayer mode - was available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC at different time intervals until Sept. 5 as the newest installment in the long-running “Call of Duty” franchise. “Call of Duty: Vanguard,” developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision, will be released on Nov. As November approaches, fans are dutifully preparing for the latest addition to the franchise, but this year’s release is anything but traditional. It’s mind-blowing that developers have churned out a new “Call of Duty” game almost every year since 2003.
