Microsoft planning to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo Switch Microsoft has revealed it wants to bring Call of Duty to the Nintendo Switch following the shocking $70B acquisition of Activision Blizzard. In early January, Microsoft stunned the gaming world with a shocking planned buyout of Activision Blizzard \u2013 the publisher behind the world-famous Call of Duty and World of Warcraft series \u2013 for a reported $70 billion. Although the takeover isn\u2019t set to be completed until June 2023 according to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick \u2013 Microsoft has already unveiled some of its plans for the popular first-person shooter Call of Duty. In an interview with CNBC on February 9, Microsoft president Brad Smith was asked if games under the Activision Blizzard umbrella would become exclusive to Xbox. Brad Smith stated that titles like Call of Duty will continue to stay on Sony\u2019s PlayStation, and in fact, revealed that Microsoft would love to bring the popular shooter to Nintendo. \u201cOne of the things we\u2019re being very clear about as we move forward with the regulatory review of this acquisition is that great titles like Call of Duty will continue to be available on Sony platforms,\u201d said the Microsoft president. \u201cWe\u2019d like to bring it Nintendo devices. We\u2019d like to bring the other popular titles that Activision Blizzard has, and ensure that they continue to be available on PlayStation, and that they become available on Nintendo.\u201d The next Call of Duty, which is reportedly a sequel to 2019\u2019s Modern Warfare, will likely release later in 2022 following the typical schedule. Though, it\u2019s far-fetched to assume we\u2019ll see CoD released on Nintendo platforms this year. With the buyout of Activision Blizzard expected to be complete by June 2023, perhaps we could see next year\u2019s title released on the Switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
