Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launched on Nintendo-switch-2/">Nintendo Switch 2 on October 23, 2026, marking the franchise’s return to Nintendo consoles after a 13-year gap, according to a review published by Nintendo Everything. The game was developed by Infinity Ward and Digital Legends Entertainment and published by Activision.

The review describes the campaign as a 16-mission story built around Captain Price and rookie soldier Private Park. Price pursues a personal mission against a central antagonist, while Park’s storyline follows a North Korean invasion of South Korea. The reviewer praised the two narrative threads, noting that Park’s story can be followed without prior knowledge of the series, while Price’s chapters include returning characters and references for longtime fans.

Campaign missions include vehicle sequences, stealth, one-on-one fights and an open level with collectibles. The reviewer called the story a satisfying entry in the series, while noting that the original 2007 Modern Warfare campaign remains their personal favorite.

The game also features DMZ and traditional multiplayer. DMZ places players in an area called the Exclusion Zone, where they can complete missions alone or with others, gather rewards and extract them. The review says progression is shared between DMZ and standard multiplayer, but found the mode demanding in terms of time and less appealing than the other parts of the game.

Traditional multiplayer includes modes such as Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed and Free-for-All. The reviewer praised its controls, weapon selection and match highlights, and said the online matches were enjoyable despite frequent defeats during random matchmaking. The game also supports cross-play with current-generation consoles and PC.

On Switch 2, the campaign runs at 30 frames per second and was reported to remain stable during demanding scenes. The review notes reduced character detail, softened textures and less visual activity in some environments compared with other versions. Multiplayer runs at 60 frames per second, and the reviewer reported no issues during hours of play.

Overall, Nintendo Everything’s review recommends the Switch 2 version, describing it as a carefully made port with a strong campaign and engaging multiplayer. It considers DMZ the least compelling of the three major modes, but says that did not substantially detract from the experience.
