More information about Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty: WWII is coming later today, May 23, in the form of a live-streamed Q&A session, with some of its creators. Broadcast on Facebook Live, you can watch the stream right here starting 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET.

Announced by two of the men who’ll be bringing you the live-streamed information later today, the “Making Call of Duty” video series is going to be an ongoing project. This will be the first of many live-streams during the build-up to the game’s release later this year. You can watch it right here when it goes live.

Sledgehammer heads Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey won’t be the only two featured in it, though. We’re also told that special guests will include animation director Chris Stone and campaign director Brett Robbins (thanks Gamespot). Together, the four team members will answer questions pitched to them via their Facebook comment section.

Some of the most highly rated questions so far ask about whether the game will have destructive maps and whether it will have planes, blimps, and warships. Some want to know technical details about the graphics engine, and others are concerned about whether playable female characters will be present in the game.

As well as answering questions from fans, in the future Sledgehammer plans to host interviews with various cast members, and offer a look at new and exciting gameplay footage. Today’s stream, however, is designed to set the stage for the future, as well as cover any concerns Call of Duty fans may have about the game.

While those streams will keep people informed throughout the build-up to the game’s release, we can expect much more information when it debuts at E3 in the coming weeks. We’re told that Sledgehammer will be holding panels discussing the multiplayer and single-player campaign, as well as hosting several giveaways.

Call of Duty: WWII is set for release on Windows PCs, Xbox One, PS4, and PS4 Pro on November 3.

The best Call of Duty games, ranked

Few video game series are as influential and popular as Call of Duty. The annualized franchise throws players into fast-paced battles across various historical time periods -- along with fictional eras, as well. Call of Duty has taken us to World War II, the Cold War, a modern setting, and even to the future.

Although it's one of the most successful video game franchises out there, Call of Duty's quality varies significantly, with some fantastic entries in the series, but many mediocre ones as well. But which Call of Duty games are worth your time and which ones should you skip? To answer that question, we've ranked all the mainline entries in the series, with details about why you should or shouldn't play that particular game.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III trailer teases a No Russian reimagining

No Russian's reimagining in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

Activision Blizzard has fully pulled back the curtain on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III following an in-game event in its predecessor. This came alongside new gameplay that concludes by teasing a rebooted version of the series' infamous No Russian mission.
The gameplay trailer focuses on the campaign missions, which got a lot more detail in a post on the game's website. It affirms that the game follows Task Force 141 as they take on Vladimir Makarov and will feature some "Open Combat Missions" that give players multiple ways to complete objectives. The gameplay seems to mainly feature a stealthy run to one of these levels. Of course, the trailer's most shocking moment comes at the end.
Gameplay Reveal Trailer | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
We see Makarov text someone "No Russian," before they pull out a gun on a crowded plane. If you don't remember, No Russian was one of the original Modern Warfare II's most infamous missions, as it had players partake in a mass shooting terrorist attack at an airport with Russians. The level has influenced the tone of this rebooted Modern Warfare series, and it now looks like Modern Warfare III is set to reimagine this mission in some way, following up the Modern Warfare II post-credit scene that referenced it.

While the trailer focused on the campaign mainly, that post confirmed a lot of new info on multiplayer and Modern Warfare Zombies too. Its multiplayer features all 16 launch maps from 2009's Modern Warfare II, two larger Battle maps for Ground War and Invasion, and an even bigger War map for the return of the War Mode introduced in Call of Duty: WWII. Map voting returns, so you can have a say in where you want to play a match. Finally, Activision says Modern Warfare Zombies takes place in a new open world where players will fight Dark Aether Zombies, complete missions, and incorporate Extraction game elements.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III launches on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on November 10.
