Black Ops 4 Rumored Battle Royale Mode Reportedly Coming to Nintendo Switch

According to a report by Gaming Intel, the rumored battle royale mode that will be taking the place of a single player campaign in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be available to play on the Nintendo Switch. This will be the first Call of Duty title to be available for Nintendo players to expereince since Call of Duty: Ghosts was on the Nintendo Wii U. However, the report by Gaming Intel states that the core game of Black Ops 4 will not be available on the Switch, only the battle royale version of the title.

This lends credence to rumors that the base game and the battle royale mode for the upcoming Call of Duty title will be separate entities, as the battle royale mode has been reported to be planned to be bundled with the base title at launch for other platforms.

There has been a recent whirlwind of leaks and rumors surrounding Treyarch's upcoming entry into the first person shooter franchise, as the title has been reported to have a similar system of heros with certain abilities that is found in Blizzard Entertainment's first person shooter Overwatch, and that Raven Software is at the forefront of deveoping a battle royale mode for Black Ops 4. With Fortnite Battle Royale, Player Unknowns Battlegrounds and H1Z1 having propelled the last man surviving genre to its all time highest level of popularity, it would make sense to see one of the most popular franchises in the video game industry hop on the train. 

It is important to note that everything that has been reported and rumored for Black Ops 4 is currently speculation and nothing will be confirmed until the community reveal date for the title on May 17th. However, if the recent news of the fourth Black Ops game is confirmed to be correct, fans of the franchise will be seeing a version of Call of Duty that is nothing like any of its predecessors.
