Leaks suggest that two classic Call of Duty games, namely Black Ops 1 and 2, are receiving a port. Considering that this leak comes at the heels of the upcoming Nintendo Direct, it’s likely that both titles might be available for the Switch and its successor.
The Nintendo library barely has any FPS multiplayer titles, so Call of Duty games are something that many Nintendo Switch owners are looking forward to playing. And the possibility of seeing a shadow drop for the game during the Nintendo Direct broadcast.
Call of Duty May Shadow Drop At Nintendo Direct Today
Despite selling more than 140 million units worldwide, the Nintendo Switch library lacks major competitive shooters, aside from Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends. The titles rumored to drop on the platform are extremely popular, especially for their Zombies content, which makes it a wonderful sales opportunity for Nintendo. Compared to the nostalgia marketing of both Black Ops 1 and 2, no FPS title on the platform would rival these games.
Today’s highly anticipated Nintendo Direct presentation should be the perfect stage for an announcement. Rumors are circulating about a shadow drop, in which Call of Duty is announced and released on the Nintendo eShop immediately following the broadcast. Fans can watch the Nintendo Direct broadcast here on YouTube.

These listings come weeks after a South Korean ratings board posted new listings for both Black Ops games. Fans have been confused about whether this was an error or if there was something in the works. However, based on the leaks, it’s likely that something was indeed in the works. The Modern Warfare 2 remaster was also shadowdropped back in 2020, so there’s a chance of something similar happening here.

If these rumors are real, it remains to be seen if these ports will include the full packages. Both games featured a story-rich campaign, multiplayer modes, and Zombies co-op mode.
