The reveal trailer for Call of Duty: Vanguard was finally released near the end of last week, but the announcement for the latest entry in the long-running shooter series comes about at a time where Activision has been in the midst of a class-action lawsuit. With this in mind, the publisher seemingly didn’t want to attach its name to Vanguard in the game’s reveal trailer and opted to instead use the term “Call of Duty Presents” rather than outright mentioning Activision. Now, the publishing brand has explained the reasoning for this decision.
I asked Activision about the logo’s absence, a change from other CoD reveals.
Their PR: “Call of Duty has continued to expand into an incredible universe of experiences. This was a creative choice that reflects how Vanguard represents the next major installment in the franchise” https://t.co/12PPrXRFcY
