So you get to line up Nazis in your gun sights on Normandy beach, within occupied France and in Germany. Like the more than a dozen previous Call of Duty games, Call of Duty: WWII is a first-person shooter.
While the most recent editions of Activision's series have been set in futuristic settings, this new blockbuster release ( just out, $59 and up, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PCs, ages 17-up) plants you in a platoon fighting its way across Europe in World War II. Call of Duty: WWII brings the multibillion-dollar video game franchise full circle.
