While the highly anticipated Call of Duty series is still awaiting its debut on Nintendo Switch, a distinctively named game, “Cats on Duty,” has already made its way to Nintendo`s console, offering a fresh gaming experience.
Publisher ESDigital Games has announced that Prikol Team`s “Cats on Duty” is now available for Switch. This launch follows its release at the end of June for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, making it widely accessible across major platforms.
The game innovatively combines elements of real-time strategy (RTS), tower defense, and match-three puzzle mechanics. Players command teams of `battle-hardened felines` as they defend against waves of zombies, requiring strategic placement and tile-matching for upgrades and defense.
As per the game`s description, players can “Prepare for epic cat fights, playful antics, and adorable meows as your feline warriors show off their unique personalities and unleash their special abilities.” It further promises “a blend of sass and strategy that will keep you entertained throughout the battles.”
The developers have stated that “Cats on Duty” draws inspiration from popular titles like “Plants vs. Zombies” and “Tower Swap,” suggesting a fun and engaging strategic gameplay loop.
Call of Duty`s Future on Nintendo Platforms
Regarding the Call of Duty franchise, Activision has reiterated its commitment to bringing the series to Nintendo`s console. However, a specific release date or confirmation on whether both the current Switch and the rumored Switch 2 would be supported remains unannounced.
In 2023, during the FTC vs. Microsoft court proceedings, Microsoft revealed a “binding 10-year legal agreement” designed to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players. This significant agreement specifies that Call of Duty titles would launch on Nintendo platforms simultaneously with Xbox, featuring “full features and content parity.”
Activision has not released a Call of Duty title on a Nintendo platform for over a decade, with the last being a port of “Call of Duty: Ghosts” for the Wii U in 2013. This long hiatus marks another chapter in Call of Duty`s complex and unique history on Nintendo consoles.
