‘They’ll break as soon as I step on ’em’

Call of Duty: WWIImay be about one of the most horrifying events in the history of mankind, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate fun in the sun!… or something. Regardless, Activision’s billion-dollar shooter has a novel new map coming for August’s “Days of Summer” event.

The new Sandbox map takes place, well, in a sandbox, featuring cover made from sandcastles, toys and the odd bucket and spade. Not only that but, in a fun twist, all the players will be stylised as toy soldiers, like the dudes fromToy Story, or thatArmy Menseries that seems to have vanished. Watch out for Captain Butcher, however, armed with the action figure equivalent of satellite rain; a magnifying glass.

These modes are accompanied by a selection of fun Summer-themed gear and accessories, like it’sThe fucking Simsor something.
