Microsoft may finally be working on COD for Switch 2

In the lead up to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the company had to fight for regulatory approvals, forcing the company to hand out 10-year agreements to the likes of Nintendo and Sony, promising that Call of Duty would be available on their respective platforms for at least ten years. So far, Call of Duty has not returned to Nintendo consoles, but new job listings hint that progress is now being made. 

As spotted by Insider Gaming, a new job listing for a Senior Technical Artist at Sledgehammer Games specifically calls for developers with “AAA mobile or Switch experience”, indicating that Microsoft is finally working on bringing future COD games to the Switch 2 console.

This is a big step for Call of Duty, as the series has had little presence on Nintendo platforms. In fact, the last COD title to release on a Nintendo console was Call of Duty: Ghosts for the Wii U, and that was all the way back in 2013.

Currently, Sledgehammer is believed to be in charge of developing COD 2027, with Infinity Ward taking the reins in 2026, presumably with a new Modern Warfare game. It is unclear if COD 2026 will skip the Switch 2 like Black Ops 7 has, but at the very least, we know that COD 2027 should be on Nintendo's console.

KitGuru Says: Do you think Call of Duty will be successful on Switch 2? If they want a shot at getting the masses to download it, they may need to do something about the file size, as the Switch 2 only has 256GB of internal storage, and some past COD titles have demanded around 200GB of storage on platforms like PC.
