Now Playing: Call of Duty: Vanguard – Official Story Trailer
“Because you don’t really have that in Call of Duty right now,” Maggs said, as reported by VGC. “You know, when you think about a game like Halo, you think of Master Chief, but when you think of CoD there’s not really those standout characters.”
“And so we came into this being like, ‘Who could be our flagship CoD characters?’ because we want to make Vanguard 2 and Vanguard 3, because we have two more stories that we really want to tell with these characters.”
Maggs is hopeful that people “love them as much as we do,” so much so that their stories can continue to be told and that they become “figureheads for this era of Call of Duty…”
