Microsoft Hints At New Call of Duty Games On Nintendo Switch

Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations.

A recent blog post from Microsoft suggests that new Call of Duty titles could be coming to Nintendo Switch in the future. The beloved first-person shooter franchise has not released on a Nintendo console since 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts, which was launched on the Wii U. While Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard and CoDhas led many to believe that the series will now be Xbox exclusive, this is reportedly not the case.

Microsoft recently purchased publisher Action Blizzard, giving the Xbox creator ownership of massive franchises such as Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Overwatch. This is likely to have massive repercussions for these beloved series, and many PlayStation owners are worried that these franchises will become Xbox console exclusives in the future. However, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has assured gamers that previous contracts with the other gaming juggernauts, Sony and Nintendo, will still be honored after the purchase. This means that despite Microsoft's ownership of the franchise, Activision's Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation for at least three years.
