Call of Duty is making its return to Nintendo platforms after 13 years this October, and Activision has revealed the developer who helped with the Switch 2 version of Modern Warfare 4.

Infinity Ward called on Activision’s partners at Digital Legends. The Spanish-based studio, which started out as a mobile developer, was acquired by the company in 2021 and has been assigned to multiple Call of Duty titles since then, including Black Ops 6, 7 and Warzone. It’s now credited as having helped develop the Switch 2 build.

Digital Legends also shared an official update about its work on the native version of Modern Warfare 4 for Switch 2:

Digital Legends Entertainment: “Breaking boundaries once again! Infinity Ward, in partnership with Digital Legends, is developing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 natively for Nintendo Switch 2, bringing the MW series to Nintendo players for the first time in more than a decade. More to come later this summer!”

Activision has already given select creators and outlets an opportunity to go hands on with the Switch 2 version of Modern Warfare 4 ahead of next week’s open beta, and the first impressions seem to be relatively positive.

The open beta for Switch 2 gets underway on 28th August 2026 and will include the Campaign Mission ‘Entrenched’ and multiplayer, including crossplay support. The full game arrives later this year on 23rd October 2026, with the Switch 2 version launching the same day as other platforms.
