Over the weekend, significant game announcements were made during events such as Summer Game Fest and Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase. The most notable announcement – the unveiling of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – was the grand finale for the latter event. In fact, the next installment in the Black Ops series is already in production and will be available on platforms like the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PS5, and PS4.
Interestingly enough, it appears that the upcoming platform for Call of Duty is not including the Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Nintendo Switch in its release. Given that this may seem unusual since Call of Duty hasn’t graced the Switch before, it’s worth noting that back in 2023, Microsoft signed a binding agreement with Nintendo to make the series available on the handheld device “on the same day as Xbox, offering identical features and content.
The release of Black Ops 7 on Nintendo Switch is still unconfirmed, which makes some people wonder if the deal between Microsoft and Xbox to offer Call of Duty games on other platforms like Nintendo Switch is being upheld. Now, we have a clue about this, thanks to a recent report.
According to our source, we are actively pursuing the franchise for Nintendo Switch. Both teams are currently involved in this project, and we will disclose information as soon as it becomes available.
Through this brief declaration, Microsoft, Xbox, and the creators of Call of Duty have made it unequivocal that they will bring the largest first-person shooter (FPS) franchise into the realm of Nintendo consoles.
It wasn’t explicitly stated which teams were referred to in the discussion, but it’s generally believed that they are Treyarch and Raven Software. Treyarch is known for spearheading development on Black Ops Call of Duty games, while Raven Software has worked with Infinity Ward (Modern Warfare, Ghosts, Warzone) as well as Treyarch on multiple projects. They collaborated on Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and the latest Black Ops game from last year, and they’re currently working together on Black Ops 7 as well.
Although the statement didn’t explicitly confirm whether Black Ops 7 is arriving on Nintendo Switch, it seems unlikely as no such announcement was made. However, a potential announcement for its release might be made later this year. Additionally, there was no mention about the possibility of previous Call of Duty titles coming to the Switch platform either.
For the first time, the Black Oops series is releasing sequentially with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. This installment will carry on the storyline initiated in Black Ops 2 and further developed in Black Ops 6. The game is set in a future not too far from now, specifically in the year 2035. It follows the tale of David Mason, son of the original Black Oops protagonist Alex Mason, and his squad as they work to prevent the return of Raul Menendez, the antagonist from Black Ops 2.
Black Ops 7 is expected to offer the complete Call of Duty experience, featuring:
1. A campaign that can be played cooperatively with friends.
2. An updated multiplayer environment for exciting gameplay.
3. Brand-new maps to explore and conquer.
4. A revamped Zombies mode where you’ll have to fight for survival as long as possible.
Regarding its release timeline, Black Ops 7 is set for a 2025 launch, and I’d speculate it will likely debut sometime between September and November. It’s compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PS5, and PS4, and perhaps Nintendo Switch at a later date. On the initial day of release, you can enjoy it through Xbox Game Pass as well.
