In December 2022, Dr. shared the article "Microsoft makes a ten-year commitment: Call of Duty is not exclusive, it will be on the Nintendo platform", which tells the story of Microsoft's executives who made a "ten-year contract" commitment, saying that the "Call of Duty" series of games will continue to be released on other platforms (including PlayStation, Nintendo's platform, Steam, etc.), rather than exclusive. In order to acquire Activision Blizzard, Microsoft racked its brains and did its best!
Words are naturally not counted, and actual actions come as promised! Microsoft President "Brad Smith" announced earlier in the community that they have signed a ten-year contract with Japanese game maker Nintendo, and will bring Xbox games and Activision Blizzard games (including the "Call of Duty" series) to Nintendo players in the future. At the same time, he pointed out that the move is part of the previous commitment. Microsoft does what it says, and it won't be as exclusive as Sony says.
"Brad Smith" shared a joint Nintendo-Microsoft statement that specifically emphasized that Nintendo players will have the same full experience of Call of Duty as much as Xbox players. There will be a question here: what about Microsoft's contract with V Company? The Dr. previously wrote an article "Microsoft wants to sign with V and keep the Call of Duty series on Steam, G Fat: No Need" to introduce this matter. V is very confident, a product can come and go, and it has no big impact on Steam.
In addition, "Brad Smith" also revealed that when releasing a new work in the "Call of Duty" series in the future, it will adopt a dual-platform synchronization strategy of Xbox and Switch, and the functions and content of the game will be exactly the same. Such a move further dispelled the concerns of local organizations and media that the "Call of Duty" series is likely to become Microsoft's exclusive game.
For the above things, everyone must have some doubts like the doctor, such as: How does the Call of Duty series of games work on Switch? "Brad Smith" gave an ambiguous response in an interview, saying it would operate the way players "expected." We can expect that the "expectations" of the Microsoft president may be somewhat different from the actual results of players, after all, the Switch is already an old product, and it is likely that it will not lead to today's "Call of Duty" new work.
Dr. There are some irresponsible speculations here, such as: the most likely product to move to the Switch platform is "Call of Duty Mobile Game", whether it is hardware performance or operation mode, it is very suitable. As for the orthodox "Call of Duty" series masterpieces, I personally think that it will not be on the Switch platform. Careful netizens have found that the joint statement between Nintendo and Microsoft does not mention the Switch platform, only the Nintendo platform.
In addition, the above-mentioned ten-year contract has not determined when it will be implemented, and Microsoft and Nintendo have not yet given an exact implementation time. However, we consider that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is expected to close within this year, and perhaps the contract will start in 2024. At the same time, Dr. has always believed that Nintendo's next-gen console Switch 2 (let's call it) will be released around 2024, so it is very possible that the new work of the "Call of Duty" series will be on Switch 2 at the same time! Personally, I think there is another piece of information to pay attention to, that is: "Brad Smith" has been mentioning the "Call of Duty" series, and we don't know if other masterpieces will adopt the same strategy.
