Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Release Date Info

In one week the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release will bring a new Call of Duty to consoles with exoskeletons, drones and you guessed it — advanced weapons.

The new Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release kicks off a huge fall lineup of games, and there is hope that this year gamers with an Xbox One or PS4 will see the benefits of purchasing one of the new consoles.

Kevin Spacey is the star of this game, but you don’t control him. Instead you are in charge of a soldier in the military world controlled by the Atlas Corporation, which Spacey leads as Jonathan Irons. The Atlas Corporation handles military needs for countries who are now outsourcing army needs.

You Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare soldier can jump higher and in new directions thanks to an exoskeleton and boost jumps. You also gain grappling abilities, cloaking enhancements to sneak around and increased strength, speed and endurance thanks to biomechanic upgrades.

Gamers also take advantage of new energy weapons, smart grenades, new shields and drones to take on the enemy in the single player missions and in the upgraded Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer modes.

Here’s an early look at the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release, with a focus on what buyers need to know.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Release

The Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date is November 4th, election day in the U.S. This is the same for digital and disc copies of the new Call of Duty. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is $59.99 for the base version, but that’s just the start.

For the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date there are many special editions including the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Atlas Limited Edition for $79.99 and the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Atlas Pro edition for $119.

Each of these special editions include special in-game and out of game gear. In game you unlock upgrades and more and out of game you get maps, soundtracks and steel game cases.

Plenty of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Pre-Order Bonuses

There are plenty of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare pre-order bonuses. It’s tough to track all of these, since they seem to change almost weekly, but with the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date just days away this list should be pretty spot on.

• Best Buy – $10 Reward Certificate, Day Zero Bonuses, Advanced Arsenal
• Amazon – Destiny BlackSmith Armor, Day Zero Bonuses
• GameStop – Day Zero Bonuses, Advanced Arsenal

You can watch the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Advanced Arsenal trailer above to see what you get with your pre-order.

Where to Buy for Early Access to Call of Duty

The biggest benefit to pre-ordering Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is early access. The Day Zero edition includes 24 hours of early access starting at 12:01 AM on November 3rd. This also includes a day of double XP so you can level up faster in the game.

Existing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare pre-orders include a free upgrade to Day Zero editions from most retailers. If you qualify you should get a code to enter. If you order now you will get an email or if you buy in store there should be a Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero code on your receipt. 

Most big name retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and others are part of the early access.

The makers of the new Call of Duty warn that there are only a limited number of Day Zero spots available.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Deals

There’s a few exciting Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare deals available that help gamers save on the game, get a free upgrade when they upgrade to PS4 or Xbox some and a $50 off Xbox One Bundle with Call of Duty and a special edition console. 

Best Buy offers a Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare deal when you trade in Call of Duty: Ghosts or Call of Duty: Black Ops II with a bonus coupon and inflated values. You can get $30 off Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare with trade in Ghosts for Xbox One or PS4 and slightly lower discounts with PS3 and Xbox 360 trades. Stack this with the $10 pre-order rewards and you can get Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for just $20. Gamer’s Club Unlocked members can save even more on this deal with 20% off the full price.

Gamers on Xbox 360 or PS3 can buy the digital version of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and get a free upgrade when they buy a Xbox One or PS4. The only catches are you need to upgrade by early 2015 and you can only upgrade from Xbox 360 to Xbox One or PS3 to PS4. This needs to be the digital version of the game. 

Microsoft starts a $50 off Xbox One deal on November 2nd that includes the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Xbox One bundle. For $449 you get a special edition Xbox One, controller 1TB hard drive and a digital version of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Midnight Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Release Details

There are two main places to go for  midnight Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release events.  

Many Best Buy locations are open late for the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release, which is good considering early access ends at 11:59 PM or close to there so you’ll need the game to keep playing. Check to see if your local Best Buy is open for the midnight Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release. 

The better bet for a midnight Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date event Is at GameStop. Most locations will start finalizing offers at 9 PM and remain open until 12:31 AM to finish the sales. The event is sponsored by Mike and Ike, so expect some freebies if you attend.
