Call of Duty WWII: Explosive story line revealed in trailer shows shocking life-like graphics

Activision's latest installment of Call of Duty will see an explosive return to the game's World War II roots. 

More recent releases of the acclaimed franchise focus primarily on intense online multiplayer battles and futurist, sci-fi settings. 

But a new trailer for Call of Duty WW2 has revealed an equally as intense-looking story mode that promises not to shy away from the brutal reality of war. 

The two and-a-half minute-long clip shows once character as he is interrogated by a Nazi commander in a concentration camp — all rendered in breathtakingly realistic graphics.

But the studio also promised respect for the scale of death and suffering during the conflict. 

'In campaign, we need to balance the authenticity with the respect for the 100million people who died in the darkest days of humanity,' Sledgehammer Games told Eurogamer.

Call of Duty WWII is set to be released on November 3 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
