Xbox CEO Phil Spencer released a tweet confirming that Microsoft is committed to manage the franchise call of Duty to Nintendo consoles for the next 10 years.
From the American company they have already clarified at the beginning of the year after the purchase of Activision Blizzard that their intention was for the developer’s games to reach other platforms and increase the offer and this movement is something that confirms it completely.
“Microsoft has entered into a 10-year agreement committing to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo following Microsoft’s merger with Activision’s Blizzard King,” Spencer’s tweet read.
It is not a surprise, given that in February Brad Smith, president of Microsoft, had already made it clear in early February this year: “We want to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo Switch.”
You can also read in Spencer’s thread that Microsoft plans to “help bring more games to more people, however they choose to play” and that in addition they promise to continue bringing Call of Duty to Steam for years to come.
It should be clarified, however, that this commitment depends on effective acquisition by regulatory bodies, as Sony is carrying out everything possible to block the purchaseeven if microsoft it also gave them that 10 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation consoles.
It’s certainly a surprising deal, given that the Nintendo Switch didn’t see any Call of Duty games coming, and this could be a good way to revisit the franchise on Nintendo consoles.
