Nintendo Switch players eager for Call of Duty action will need to wait a bit longer, but an unexpected feline-themed alternative has arrived. Cats on Duty, a quirky strategy game blending tower defense and match-three mechanics, recently launched on Switch after debuting on other platforms last month. Developed by Prikol Team and published by ESDigital Games, it offers a lighthearted twist on military combat with teams of cartoon cats battling zombies.
The game challenges players to strategically match tiles while deploying feline warriors with unique abilities. Described as a mix of Plants vs. Zombies and Tower Swap, it emphasizes humor and tactical gameplay. “Expect chaotic cat brawls, clever upgrades, and plenty of purr-sonalities as your furry squad takes on the undead,” the official description teases.
Meanwhile, Call of Duty fans still anticipate Activision’s long-promised Switch release. Microsoft confirmed plans last year to bring the franchise to Nintendo consoles under a 10-year agreement, ensuring parity with Xbox versions. However, no specific launch window has been announced, leaving uncertainty about whether it will target the current Switch or its rumored successor.
The last Call of Duty title on a Nintendo system was 2013’s Ghosts for Wii U, marking over a decade without the series on Nintendo hardware. While Cats on Duty fills the gap with whimsy, the eventual arrival of Activision’s blockbuster shooter could redefine Nintendo’s shooter library, whenever it finally arrives.
