Will Warzone 2 be heading to Nintendo Switch in 2023 as part of Microsoft's deal with Nintendo?
Last week, Microsoft announced that they had signed a binding 10-year contract with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players the same day as Xbox. As part of the deal, Nintendo players will be able to enjoy Call of Duty "just as Xbox and PlayStation gamers enjoy Call of Duty.”
The last CoD release to hit Nintendo consoles was Call of Duty: Ghosts for the Wii U back in 2013. Since then Call of Duty titles, including popular free-to-play battle royale Warzone, have remained absent from the platform. With the launch of Warzone 2 towards the end of 2022, Call of Duty players saw vast amounts of new content make its way to the battle royale.
So, with this new deal in place, can we expect to see Warzone 2 head to Nintendo consoles and, more specifically, the Nintendo Switch?
Is Warzone 2 Coming to Nintendo Switch in 2023?
Microsoft hasn't revealed if there are any plans to bring the already released titles over to the Nintendo Switch, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2. While the latter is probably more likely to receive a port, there's been no indication of it coming in 2023.
As for the future of the franchise, should Activision release its rumored Call of Duty 2024 then Nintendo players could likely expect to see it head to the Nintendo Switch. Recent main entries have received integration with Warzone, such as Call of Duty: Vanguard and Black Ops Cold War, meaning that CoD 2024, whatever it shapes up to be, will as well. Whether that includes bringing the battle royale to Nintendo Switch remains to be seen.
At the time of writing, however, no definitive plans have been revealed by Activision, or Nintendo, on which Call of Duty title will be the first to mark the franchise's return to Nintendo consoles.
