Vanguard owners will receive exclusive access to the new map for 24 hours before it’s made available to all Warzone players on December 9.
Among other features, the launch trailer includes a look at Vanguard Royale, one of the new modes coming to the game
It introduces fighter planes, anti-aircraft guns and trucks which can be used to shoot them down, plus the all-terrain Squad Transport car.
