Call of Duty’s Approaching Debut on Nintendo Switch 2 Hints at Upcoming Announcement

Game code data suggests that the debut of the Call of Duty series on the Nintendo Switch 2 is approaching. Four years ago, in its bid to acquire Activision Blizzard, Microsoft committed to bringing Call of Duty to multiple platforms, including Nintendo consoles. Given the original Switch’s technical limitations, this commitment likely pertained to its successor. Call of Duty studios have now received Switch 2 development kits, according to Nate The Hate, resolving earlier access issues. Realityuk recently found a reference to Nintendo in the code for Call of Duty HQ’s launcher, hinting that an announcement of the partnership may occur at an upcoming Nintendo event. This discovery follows Windows Central’s report three weeks earlier that Call of Duty would launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2026. In 2022, Xbox chief Phil Spencer acknowledged that bringing Call of Duty to Nintendo’s platform would take time. Now that the Nintendo Switch 2 is available, an announcement may be imminent, potentially during a future Nintendo Direct, such as the February presentation Nintendo traditionally holds.
