On the IGN UK podcast this week, we'll be talking all about spies.

Hello and welcome to the IGN UK podcast, the show all about the latest video games,

movies and TV shows.

And this week,

I'm joined by Matt Perslow. Hello. I'm Simon. Forgot to mention that. I don't know.

Maybe if you've not listened to this before, you won't know. I'm Simon. Hello.

Just me and you. Today, Matt, very busy time of year here I do. It's the big summer games periods. We're about to fire ourselves into fake E3 for

once more. We are and it also happens to be, you know, the last like three weeks like four or five

really good games have come out. So we're also covering those. Like yesterday they decide to reveal a

new Caller Duty and Witcher expansion. Yeah. I mean, we haven't got it on the running order, but like, I assume you're very excited to play some more Witcher 3. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's, I replayed it. What is it? Like, maybe I was about to say two years. I think it might actually have been like four years ago now that I replayed Witcher 3. And it's a masterpiece

every time, isn't it? Like, there's so good. I know the things have like maybe aged a little more in it now. Like the combat gets a little bit more struggle some each time you play it through. But that really isn't the point, is it like that that writing is like, we'll stand up time immemorial i think yeah i'm i'm now weighing up my

like simply don't have the time right to do a full replay but i'm like you might be able to

could replay um blood and wine and just do i might wait till we know more details about uh is it

songs of the past that's good something like that yeah like more context of they going completely, you know, is this a bridge to four? Which I imagine it kind of is or like, is it a continuation of some stuff in three? I imagine it's a bit of both. It wouldn't surprise me if it's a way to, I know that if you remember we went to Poland for when they announced the Witcher 4. and we were chatting with law guys, where they'd said about how kind of like, obviously,

the way that Witch of Three ends, Siri can be in multiple different places, including dead.

And so it wouldn't surprise me if this maybe sets up the way that Siri can definitely be back.

Yeah, it locks in a canon, probably, right? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, I can't wait for that one. Caller Duty as well, you know, looks good. I have faith in this one. They've given Infinity Award some time to cook. That's the thing, right? It's that four years, very rarely does a Call of Duty get a four-year development cycle. And I guess probably the last time this happened was for the original 2019 reboot. Blackop six, I think they got three years. Right, okay. And that was a good one. Yes, a very good one. So, you know, the proof's in the pudding there, right? I'm, you know, I like career. I'll wait to see how they handle that setting and that conflict.

Not for me to necessarily comment on too much.

Yeah, I think if they do it, Modern Warfare 2019 has, there's obviously that, is it the

highway of death section, which is very deeply contested because of the way that it portrays

that.

But I think in general, it has been the only
