When does the beta for Call of Duty Vanguard start? We have all the info we know about the launch and the new “Champion Hill” Gunfight Mode.

CoD Vanguard has now been officially unveiled – and with its first gameplay it gives hope to Modern Warfare fans in particular! But now the question naturally arises: When can gamers try out the shooter for themselves?

Alpha

When does the alpha for CoD Vanguard start?

At some point soon, Vanguard will launch into a PlayStation-exclusive alpha. This means, of course, that PC players and co. won’t get access to it. This play-on phase will run from 27 to 29 August 2021. And for the first time, the new multiplayer mode Champion Hill will be playable

What is the new Champion Hill Mode all about?

A new mode called Champion Hill will be playable in the alpha. In it, eight teams (in the alpha only duos or trios) compete against each other in several arenas according to the classic Battle Royale principle. Each squad has a limited number of lives – if you lose all of them, you’re out.

All players start with the same loadout and must first earn better equipment. For example, by collecting cash or capturing it from fallen enemies. In the purchase rounds, which alternate with combat rounds, you then acquire more powerful weapons or killstreaks.

This mode is intended to replace the previous Gunfight Mode, which was introduced with Modern Warfare 2019. You can get an impression in the gameplay trailer:

Beta

When does the open beta for CoD Vanguard start?

The beta will also be PlayStation-exclusive for the time being – from 10 to 12 September 2021.

This will be followed by an open beta for all platforms – including PC and Xbox. It will run from 18 to 20 September 2021. According to the official information, pre-orderers will get access two days beforehand, i.e. from 16 September.

Final Release

When will CoD Vanguard be released?

Release date of Call of Duty Vanguard is November 5, 2021, simultaneously on all platforms – i.e. PS5, PC, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One. The PC version will be released via Battle.net, as we are used to from Warzone, Cold War and MW.

The portal ModernWarzone also reports that the first season will start on 23 November 2021, but this has not been officially confirmed. Here you can see the very first scenes from Vanguard:

When will Vanguard arrive in Warzone?

Of course Vanguard, like its predecessors, will be integrated into CoD Warzone at release on November 5. New weapons, operators and even a whole new map have already been confirmed.

And a solution is also in sight for the cheater hordes, Warzone’s biggest problem in 2021! All in all, Vanguard could be the best news for Warzone players since release.
