Overview
- A Sledgehammer Games listing for a Senior Technical Artist explicitly seeks candidates with "AAA mobile or Switch experience," according to versions on LinkedIn and Activision Careers.
- The studio has worked exclusively on Call of Duty since 2009, making Switch expertise in its hiring a notable signal for the franchise.
- The move follows Microsoft's 10-year commitment to deliver Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms, made legally binding in 2023, and Activision's 2025 confirmation that it is working with Nintendo.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launched this month on other platforms but skipped the Switch, leaving Nintendo players waiting for a future entry.
- No Nintendo release, title, or date has been announced, and reports suggesting Switch 2 or a 2027 Sledgehammer-led game remain unconfirmed.
