Call of Duty is coming to Nintendo consoles – if Microsoft and Activision merger closes

Phil Spencer has announced that Microsoft will bring the Call of Duty franchise to Nintendo, should their merger with Activision Blizzard King close.

The CEO of Microsoft Gaming posted a tweet confirming that the technology giant has committed to a 10-year agreement with Nintendo, which could see the Call of Duty franchise become available on the Nintendo Switch for the first time. But don't get too excited yet Switch owners, because Microsoft's proposed $68.7bn takeover of Activision Blizzard King is still to be confirmed.

The proposed merger will have to obtain regulatory approval from various parties from around the world before it's finalised, including the UK competition regulator and the US Federal Trade Commission. Both are currently undertaking in-depth investigations into the proposed merger.
