Call of Duty: WW2was the fifth title in the franchise set in the Second World War, but many of the beloved multiplayer maps set in that era come fromWW2orCall of Duty: World at War,as previous titles lacked the console online functionality. Sledgehammer Games crafted several timeless maps withWW2and the USS Texas battleship is returning inCall of Duty: Vanguardas USS Texas 1945. Because of the timing ofVanguardlining up with the setting ofCall of Duty: WW2, much of USS Texas has been slightly altered in this remake, while some smaller details differ.
Activision has confirmed not only the return of USS Texas inCall of Duty: Vanguard, but the second multiplayer map of Season 4 has been revealed as Desolation. Desolation will offer a more open map than the tighter corridors of USS Texas 1945, with mountains and creeks surrounding the central building of a “devastated” village. BothCall of Duty: VanguardandWarzonewill see a new Battle Pass in Mercenaries of Fortune that will offer a string of cosmetics as players complete challenges and participate in matches.
BecauseCall of Duty: VanguardandCall of Duty: WW2are set in the same era, many fans that played the older title may be anticipating the return of USS Texas in Mercenaries of Fortune. USS Texas 1945 will be added toCall of Duty: Vanguard’s multiplayer map rotationafter the June 22 update is installed, leaving fans some time to explore the battleship before Desolation drops in the in-season patch. While manyCall of Duty: Warzoneplayers are praising the addition of Fortune’s Keep alongside Rebirth Island, and Zombies fans express enthusiasm over the return of round-based Zombies, someWorld War 2players are excited forVanguardto bring back the USS Texas.
Call of Duty: Vanguardis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
