It’s good to be bad. A cast of legendary Call of Duty villains are out for revenge, led by none other than crime lord Raul Menendez. Pick a side in the Heroes vs. Villains Community Event, defend or sabotage Caldera in Operation: Last Call, deploy to two new Multiplayer maps, and return to Egypt in the new round-based Zombies experience, “The Archon.”
Legends Never Die — Introducing Last Stand
Everything good must come to an end… but bad is forever. Launching August 24 PT, Last Stand gathers Call of Duty’s most notorious villains for an epic finale, crammed with masses of free content for both Vanguard and Warzone. Deploy as one of four of the biggest villains in Call of Duty history — the charismatic Raul Menendez, the ruthless Khaled Al-Asad, the brainwashed Gabriel T. Rorke, and the merciless He “Seraph” Zhen-Zhen. They’re hell-bent on revenge — if it’s the last thing they do.
Last Stand is bringing major updates to all three gaming experiences. In Warzone, Caldera’s Peak is ready to rumble — will you wreak havoc or defend the island from sabotage? In Multiplayer, deploy to two new fast-paced maps, Beheaded and Fortress. In Zombies, continue the Dark Aether saga and face off against Kortifex the Deathless in Vanguard’s round-based finale, “The Archon.”
Season Five, the final season of content for Vanguard, goes live on August 24 PT, following an update to Vanguard at 9 AM PT on August 23 and a Warzone update at 9 AM PT on August 24.
