Call of Duty is on its way to Switch 2, and it's officially confirmed. Key figures from Xbox and Activision have emphasized the importance of Nintendo's hardware for the franchise's future, with their last remarks on the subject emerging last year following the reveal of Black Ops 7.
The pressing question now is when this release will occur. Various insiders and industry experts have hinted at a major launch expected in 2026. However, a recent datamine could suggest that this release may come sooner.
Reality, an account known for delving into Call of Duty files, indicated on January 11 that collaboration between Nintendo and Call of Duty seems imminent, likely in line with upcoming Nintendo announcements.
The datamine revealed additional lines in the latest Call of Duty HQ platform referencing Nintendo as part of the console “platform family,” suggesting ongoing preparations for a Nintendo release.
While the news isn't shocking, it's reassuring that preparations for whatever Call of Duty title arrives first on Nintendo Switch 2 (and potentially the original Switch) are progressing. With other successful live-service games like Fortnite and Apex Legends thriving on the platform, it's reasonable to expect Call of Duty to achieve similar success on Nintendo's hybrid console.
However, caution is advised. The datamine also mentioned the Ubisoft Connect platform, which currently does not offer Call of Duty games. It remains unclear if these references are simply placeholders in the files or if they hint at future plans. Yet, with the commitment expressed towards Nintendo, fans eagerly await the Direct stream that will finally unveil these developments. Stay tuned!
