Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Release: 9 Things to Know

Published

on

The Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date arrives this week, finally delivering a new Call of Duty game that looks like it can take advantage of the power of the Xbox One and PS4. Buyers may be surprised to learn that the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date is a day earlier than most games thanks to a special Day Zero option that is open to essentially any gamer.

Without a Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare demo to test the game out, shoppers are relying on videos, teasers and their annual upgrade to the new Call of Duty to decide if Advanced Warfare is worth buying.

Keep reading to learn what to expect on the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date and what buyers need to know about the new Call of Duty release.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is available for Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC starting at $59.99 and going up to $119 for a Atlas Pro edition.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Release is Early

The Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare release date is November 3rd, not November 4th. This is important because the game comes out on a Monday instead of a Tuesday.

If you are picking the game up in-store make sure you plan to stop Monday. For users who order online, look for a delivery sometime Monday as well.

If you want to go out and get the game at midnight, you need to stay up late Sunday night instead of Monday night. You don’t want to mess that up.

Anyone who plays on Monday with the Day Zero edition will earn Double XP all day.

Special Editions Sold Out Online

Some retailers are out of the special edition Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

    What happens if I use my Xbox One Advanced Warfare download token on my 360? Will I still be able to auto upgrade? I still have a lot of friends on 360. Will it even work that way round? Or at all?
