After speculation and a teaser from Activision that the next Sledgehammer Games developed Call of Duty would see the series return to its roots comes confirmation that Call of Duty: WWII is happening. Coming later this year (with a rumoured release date of November 3), the game will take place during the second World War. A full reveal is set to happen at 3AM on April 27 this week.
Here's the confirmation.
After the success of Battlefield 1's return to the early parts of the 20th century, a new World War II game feels like the right move for the next Call of Duty. Like a pendulum that swung away from classically-set shooters to the more current-day futuristic setting of recent years, World War II in gaming is fresh again.
Leaked marketing material suggest that the game will feature both co-op and a mission or set piece around D-Day.

Maybe I'm not in the majority, or maybe COD players just mostly weren't old enough to play games the first time we went through the WW2 phase, but I'm personally still sick of it as a setting for games.

Look I'm sure it will revive memories of COD1, WaW and MoH:AA, but it looks dated already.
Activision have literally just gone this way because they know it was the obvious next spot for the BF franchise.
I don't mind WW2 at all, but I'd much rather see East Front, Pacific Theatre, German theatre, than another France/USA USA USA clone.
