We’re still a couple of days out from the official reveal of Call of Duty: WWII on April 26 but that hasn’t stopped Internet sleuths from picking up on in-game screenshots recently posted as part of an update on the official website.

Spotted by dedicated Call of Duty website, Charlie Intel, the low-resolution screenshots, seen below, relate to the perks received once you sign up to Call of Duty’s official website and can be found on the log-in page.

Relating to ‘Exclusive rewards’, ‘Community’, and getting the ‘Latest Intel’, the images detail the use of a Thompson submachine gun, as well as an up-close shot of a soldier, and a company overlooking a battle.

It’s also worth noting that in the third image, the soldier has a 1st Infantry Division patch on his shoulder; that division was nicknamed ‘The Big Red One’ – or ‘The Fighting First’ – and was at the forefront of the campaign in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. Though most likely not a remake, perhaps Call of Duty: WWII is a retelling of that of that division’s valour in World War II.

It’s not much but we’re already looking forward to getting boots to the ground.
