Call of Duty Vanguard is finally here, much to the excitement of the fans and players of the franchise. Sledgehammer Games never held back in revealing the information surrounding the game in the months leading to Vanguard’s launch. While a lot of opinions are going around about the new campaign, the question remains how long is the Vanguard campaign.
The campaign mode can be played from the perspective of four different war heroes. Vanguard’s campaign is described as a brutal depiction of a fight set in the last days of World War 2, with players taking part in a variety of missions across the globe. Without further ado, let’s answer all your questions regarding the Vanguard campaign.
Call of Duty Vanguard Campaign Story
According to the developers, Sledgehammer Games, the Vanguard campaign is based around the stories of four soldiers. Each soldier is stationed at a different front of World War 2 and is facing a number of obstacles in their way.
These soldiers eventually band together to become the first Operatives of Task Force One. This task force is started in order to take down the enemy while uncovering the secrets of Project Phoenix, a desperate attempt at a second Nazi insurrection in the days leading up to World War 2’s end.
How Long Is Vanguard Campaign
Vanguard has nine missions with each mission being around 30-45 minutes long. While the actual length of the Vanguard single-player campaign is yet to be confirmed, we can calculate based on the number of missions and the time it can take the average player to complete them. This simply means that it will take players around six to seven hours to complete the campaign. This time for completion might differ for players familiar with the franchise or players getting stuck at a certain level.
How Many Missions Are There in Vanguard Campaign
Considering the fact that the last couple of Call of Duty titles had 10 and 14 missions in their campaigns, we were assuming for a number around the same for Vanguard. However, the Vanguard campaign has a total of nine missions in the single-player campaign.
