Gaming Intel is reporting, corroborated by a “trusted source,” thatCall of Duty: Black Ops 4will arrive on Nintendo Switch in some form, but not how you’d expect it.
According to the rumor it will be abattle-royale-onlyrelease, with no zombies or true multiplayer.This is pretty much inline with the previous reportthat there is not going to be a campaign forBlack Ops 4, and instead, supporting a battle royale mode. The rumor also notes that Beenox is working on the mode along with Raven Software, and that it’ll be bundled with the other versions of the game at launch.
The thing is this kind of lines up. Epic Games is already doing this right now withFornite, and it’s a scheme that is worth copying. If you’re so inclined you can buy the pre-release version and get the now lesser-known PVE campaign, or you can just download a separate Battle Royale download and get to the craze immediately, for free.
Not having to juggle four or more different modes on one Switch cart is also a plus for Activision, who has struggled to support Nintendo withCall of Dutysince they dropped them during the Wii U era. The Switch is hot right now and this is the time to strike with a trendy genre. We’ll probably know more after theBlack Ops 4reveal event in May.
