Call of Duty series reportedly set for more remasters & Nintendo Switch debut ActivisionMultiple Call of Duty remasters are reportedly in the works as Activision looks to bridge gaps between new mainline titles. In a franchise-first too, the FPS titan is reportedly set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch. With 18 standalone titles spanning as many years, the CoD franchise has become known for its annualized release schedule. Although the trend is continuing through 2022, with the expected launch of a Modern Warfare follow-up, reports have indicated that 2023 could mark the first real break for the series. For the first time in almost two decades, the FPS juggernaut is seemingly leaving a gap in the schedule. While Activision has since denied these claims, stating that both \u201cpremium and free-to-play experiences\u201d are still on the way in 2023, we may now have a clearer understanding of what that means. Rather than a full-fledged premium release, 2023 could serve as a year for newly remastered experiences instead. More Call of Duty remasters in the works? With ample titles to pick from, Activision is reportedly looking back through its CoD catalog to help \u201cfill out empty space between premium titles,\u201d according to insider \u2018RalphsValve.\u2019 Multiple classics are supposedly being considered for the remaster treatment, akin to the 2016 rerelease of the original Modern Warfare.

All appear to be \u201cin the conversation\u201d for remasters purpose build with \u201cnewer consoles\u201d in focus. The full extent of the remasters remains unclear. There\u2019s no telling how far the purported upgrades will go with new PS5 & Xbox Series X | S hardware in mind. Call of Duty franchise reportedly making Switch debut Beyond the aforementioned remasters, the CoD franchise could also be set to break out on entirely new hardware. For the first time in series history, Activision\u2019s hit FPS may soon be playable on the Nintendo Switch. \u201cModern Warfare Remastered is supposedly coming to Nintendo Switch,\u201d the insider claimed. \u201cIts first [introduction] into the franchise.\u201d While a range of earlier CoD titles were ported to Nintendo hardware like the Wii, Wii U, and even some on the Nintendo DS handheld, the series is yet to appear on the Switch. Though that could soon be changing, if these reports hold true. There\u2019s currently no telling which studio would lead development on this first-of-its-kind CoD port.
