Call of Duty Vanguard has finally seen its official reveal with the latest trailer. The studio hosted a massive in-game event in Call of Duty Warzone that rolled back the curtains from the new game. The studio used the same formulae for this year’s title and revealed it via Warzone. This strategy produced fantastic results for the studio and it looks to capitalize on the unique audience.

The studio released a three-minute-long teaser trailer for the game but it never showcased Activision’s name or logo.

Removing the logo from Call of Duty: Vanguard was a creative decision

According to a report by VGC, Activision is in troubled waters that stirred major controversy in the community. It is being rumored that these problems with the court of law have compelled them to make this choice. However, the studio suggests that the actual reason behind this change is a creative one and not because of legal problems. No Call of Duty title has ever seen its trailers without the trademark logo of the parent company in Activision.

However, this serves as the first occasion where the studio has made a different choice. A spokesperson of the company offered justification on the matter and stated it was mostly a creative decision. It does not seem like the recent trouble had any role in the decision-making process.
