E3 is almost upon us and it seems Nintendo fans have one more thing to be excited about. According to new information presented to us by an anonymous source, Call of Duty WWII will be announced for the Nintendo Switch next month at the Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 video presentation.
Switching it up
The Nintendo Switch version of one of Activision’s most popular franchises has reportedly been in development since August 2016 and we have reason to believe Beenox is behind it. The game is said to be in the final stages of development.
Release date
It will launch on November 3rd, the same day as the PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions with the RRP of $60. Regarding DLC support, Activision will take the ‘wait and see’ approach. If the Switch version sells well, fans can expect downloadable content for that version.
Rumble in Normandy
Sad news for fans of the Wii and Wii U versions of old Call of Duty games though; WWII on the Switch will not take advantage of gyroscope aiming, but at least Switch fans have HD rumble to look forward to.
Pre-order?
On a final note, the Switch will receive the same pre-order bonuses as other versions of the game. With Call of Duty, Nintendo will have the opportunity to give Switch owners a big reason to use their paid online services, coming in late 2017.
When?
The Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 video presentation will take place on June 13, 2017 9:00 AM PT. There will be no playable Switch versions on the floor.
So there you have it. That is everything we know about Call of Duty WWII for the Nintendo Switch. Are you excited to see what it looks like?
