== Gameplay ==
=== Campaign ===
Gameplay-wise, ''WWII'' is the first title since the original ''[[Call of Duty (video game)|Call of Duty]]'' to not feature health regeneration in the campaign. Instead, players must rely on their medic squadmates to provide health packs, as well as other squad members to provide ammunition. The deaths of these squadmates is permanent throughout the story, and will lead to changes in character emotional behavior.<ref>{{cite web|title=Call Of Duty: WW2 Ditching Health Regen, Has Some Form Of Dedicated Classes|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-ww2-ditching-health-regen-has-some-fo/1100-6449627/|website=GameSpot|accessdate=April 27, 2017}}</ref>
=== Multiplayer ===
A multiplayer reveal for ''Call of Duty: WWII'' is planned for E3 2017, which will take place from June 13–15.<ref name=":0" /> Sledgehammer Games has announced new features such as the new headquarters social space, divisions, war mode and the return to "boots-on-the-ground" gameplay. This refers to recent Call of Duty games that featured elements such as double-jumping, jet-packing, and wall-running. There will be a new class based progression system. Players who pre-order the game will be invited to a closed beta, which will initially be for the PlayStation 4.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2017/04/26/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-call-of-duty-world-war-ii-reveal/#1a5134125118|title=Everything You Need To Know About The 'Call Of Duty: World War II' Reveal|last=Kain|first=Erik|work=Forbes|access-date=April 27, 2017}}</ref>

The game will include a zombies cooperative game mode, similar to previous entries by [[Treyarch]] and [[Infinity Ward]], with its own original storyline. The game mode is also set in the events of World War II, as the [[Third Reich]] makes a desperate attempt to create an undead army in the final stages of the war.
