"Call of Duty WWII" is the 14th game in the critically-acclaimed Call of Duty series. It follows the classic first-person shooting action offered by its predecessors. It is the second title in the franchise that is set during the World War 2 era, with 2008's "Call of Duty: World at War" being the first.

"Call of Duty: WWII" follows the 1st Infantry Division as they fight out their battles on the Western Front. The story of the campaign is loosely based on the historical events of Operation Overlord — an attack carried out by Allied forces in 1971.
