Call Of Duty: WWII & Destiny 2 Are Hitting SDCC Hard

Call Of Duty

Activision is bringing Call Of Duty: WWII, Crash Bandicoot, & Destiny 2 to SDCC with Call Of Duty: WWII Zombies getting shown off

We are a week out from SDCC this year and as usual Activision is bringing a whole slew of things to show off with Call Of Duty: WWII and Destiny 2 being on the bill for this year's geekfeast. It makes perfect sense as they have done this almost every year for quite some time even when there are only small announcements and expansions for other games and then the buildup for their big money maker of the year. I guess that is why there is going to be a big announcement for Call Of Duty: WWII out there as the new Nazi Zombie mode is going to be the highlight of it all. Yes, we are going to be getting the first showing of the mode and how it has gone toward its horror theme this time around instead of just the mindless fun we know it as. At least that is how it is all being sold for now.

On top of the big Call Of Duty: WWII announcement and showing, they will have a different panel going over the changes of Destiny 2 and all of the aspects that have been worked on to bring us all the sequel to the game. There will also be a look at the Crash Bandicoot franchise given the most recent remaster and update. Mostly it will be going over the aspects that the teams had to rework and just how it has all progressed over the last few decades. Pretty much what you'd expect for it all as that game launched only a short time ago and so far nothing completely new has been announced as of yet. Unless that is one of the special announcements that are being teased here. Although I have a feeling that it will be a version of Crash showing up for some of the panel and that is about it.

Of course, to get into the panels out there, you will need one of the coveted and hard to get passed to SDCC. That is unless there is a yet to be announced off-site event for Call Of Duty: WWII as they have done in the past. That or you can watch it all streamed online so the only thing you will miss out on will be the cool posters and live experience of it all. Although I am sure that the new looks at the games and the new information on the latest Call Of Duty Zombies mode will be the bigger stars of it all. I guess we will find out here next week.
