Some of the writers behind Call of Duty: Vanguard has hinted at making multiple sequels to the game.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is just around the corner now, not only providing Call of Duty fans with yet another installment of the classic Multiplayer and Campaign, but also an integration with Warzone.

Speaking of the Campaign, a new trailer confirmed a close relationship with PlayStation, and recent comments from the writers even hinted at the possibility of multiple sequels for Vanguard in the future.

For those that don’t know, Vanguard’s Campaign depicts a WWII story from the perspective of five different heroes, all from different origins.

These characters band together to create an elite squadron to carry out a very important mission towards the end of WWII that takes place on multiple fronts.

The story is well thought out and loved dearly by the developers, who revealed some pretty exciting stuff during their New York Comic Con panel, according to a report by Video Games Chronicle. Sledgehammer Games developer Sam Maggs had a lot to say about Vanguard, including the upcoming comic, as well as the team’s hopes for the future.

When talking about the Vanguard characters, Sam stated that they thought a lot about “iconic CoD characters,” seemingly lacking in the series right now. Some may disagree, especially as Black Ops Cold War brought back several iconic Treyarch-developed characters, but as for new icons, there hasn’t been any.

With this in mind, the developers have really worked on creating “flagship CoD characters.” Sam then revealed something exciting while on the topic of creating iconic characters, saying, “because we want to make Vanguard 2 and Vanguard 3 because we have two more stories that we really want to tell with these characters.”

This is very interesting, as Sam effectively revealed that Sledgehammer is trying to bring new iconic characters to the series that can span multiple games and create new “figureheads for this era of CoD” that will keep players engaged through numerous installments.

This isn’t a bad idea either, as those who love the Modern Warfare series all know and love characters like Captain Price, Ghost, and Soap Mactavish.

We’ll have to see what happens in the future and how the Vanguard Campaign and game, in general, is taken in by the community come release. For more, here’s our piece on Vanguard Zombies.
