Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will supposedly be the first CoD title on the Switch 2.
NateTheHate has confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be the first CoD title on Nintendo Switch 2. This corroborates a blurred cover art leak from billbil-kun. Microsoft had previously pledged CoD on Nintendo platforms as part of its Activision Blizzard acquisition.

Reliable gaming insider NateTheHate has just added more weight to the growing body of evidence around Call of Duty on Nintendo Switch 2 (curr $449 on Amazon). In a comment on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, he has affirmed that the rumoured Modern Warfare 4 will be the first CoD title on the platform. When a commenter suggested as much, NateTheHate, who regularly monitors the subreddit, replied with a simple "Yes."

The timing makes sense, considering everything that's been pointing in this direction for months. Windows Central's Jez Corden stated last December that "the first CoD Switch version is nearly done and launching in a few months." He later clarified that 2026 was the safer bet for a release window. The delay had previously been attributed to Nintendo being selective about which studios initially received Switch 2 dev kits. Most likely, this left Activision without the tools it needed to get started.

The MW4 name itself surfaced this week via billbil-kun, a credible leaker who posted a heavily blurred cover art for an unnamed Activision game alongside the Korean character "사" — the Sino-Korean word for four. The community immediately read that as a Modern Warfare 4 confirmation.

Microsoft committed to bringing CoD to Nintendo platforms as part of its Activision Blizzard acquisition. Granted, this makes the long absence from Switch 2 something of an awkward gap in that promise. A Sledgehammer Games job listing seeking a Senior Technical Artist with "AAA mobile or Switch experience" had already dropped crumbs regarding something in the pipeline.

Neither Microsoft nor Activision has officially confirmed MW4 or its platform lineup. But with billbil-kun's cover art and NateTheHate's confirmation landing within the same thread, it's becoming kind of hard to dismiss.
