The team behind Call Of Duty has confirmed they are working on bringing the franchise to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Back in 2023, Microsoft announced a ten-year deal with Nintendo that meant Switch owners would be able to play future Call Of Duty games “the same day as Xbox, with full feature and content parity”. The agreement was part of Microsoft’s $68.7billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
However when the company announced Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 over the weekend, the sequel was only confirmed for release on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as PC.
The team behind Call Of Duty has now released a statement (via Eurogamer) that said: “We’re committed to getting the franchise on Switch. Both teams [are] working on it. Will share details when ready.”
More details about the follow-up to Black Ops 6 are due this summer, ahead of a 2025 launch for the latest Call Of Duty title. The game will feature solo and co-op campaign modes, alongside a “signature” multiplayer experience with brand new maps. The popular ‘Zombies’ mode is also getting a refresh with “the next twisted chapter of round-bases” mayhem.
“Developed as the next evolution of Black Ops, this is the first-ever consecutive release within the series, set more than 40 years after the events of Black Ops 6. The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. Wielding cutting-edge technology, David Mason and his team must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponises fear above all else,” says a description of the game.

The Switch 2 launched last week and fans have been praising the “incredible” new Nintendo console. The bigger, more powerful bit of kit has allowed blockbuster games Elden Ring, Borderlands 4 and Cyperpunk 2077 to come to Nintendo for the first time.
Yesterday (June 9), Microsoft confirmed its own handheld console would launch this year. Details about the cost of the ROG Xbox Ally haven’t been announced yet but Microsoft has shared the technical specifications of the Switch 2 rival and said it will be able to run all games that are available on Xbox Game Pass, while Fortnite will also be playable on the handheld.
In other news, a new video game adaptation of the hit HBO show Game Of Thrones has been announced that will let you choose how the fantasy story ends.
