"Call of Duty: WW2" is one of the newest games coming out this year.

To keep the hype going, Activision — publishers of the title — just released a new video. What can fans expect this time?

In the video, the development team talks about their vision for the game. "Epic, gritty, visceral story of the world's great conflict," says Michael Condrey, who belongs to the lead development team for the game. The video shows off the work that went into the title, especially the research. The video was first shown in the series' livestream event last April to give the fans a sneak preview at the game's premise.

The latest installment of the "Call of Duty" franchise is set in World War II. Players of the series who were used to futuristic weapons are going to be taken back to the past. According to information that was given so far, the story of the game might just be about ending World War II. However, there are still much about the plot that have yet to be revealed.

Director Joe Salud also gave a few words, saying that they want the world to be dark yet visually beautiful. "More than just being cool and pretty, it's about trying to get people to have a deeper emotional reaction to the game," he added.

Aside from this, "Call of Duty: WW2" is also launching its Beta. So far, the beta can only be accessed after pre-ordering the game. There is still no date for its release, so many are wondering if the beta will remain private or if it is going to change soon.

"Call of Duty: WW2" is set to be released on Nov. 3 for Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4.
