Naughty Dog studios is gearing up to launch an exciting new title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which made a splash at this year’s Game Awards. Set in a richly crafted sci-fi universe, the game’s trailer teases an intriguing blend of nostalgia and adventure. We catch a glimpse of the protagonist immersed in some classic anime and spinning a vintage vinyl, right before embarking on a thrilling space odyssey. Unlike the sleek, futuristic style you might find in a typical Star Wars setting, this universe leans heavily on retro aesthetics. Picture CRT monitors, old-school tech, and clunky keyboards, creating a vibe where functionality takes precedence over flashy designs.
With this upcoming game, Naughty Dog, a studio under Sony’s wing, continues to build on its esteemed legacy of cinematic adventure games like The Last of Us and Uncharted. Fans will be thrilled to hear that Troy Baker, known for his iconic role as Joel in The Last of Us, will voice the protagonist, Jordan Munn. The creative genius behind the acclaimed series, Neil Druckmann, is leading this ambitious project. From what the trailer reveals, we follow Jordan Munn, a skilled bounty hunter grappling with an elusive criminal group dubbed The Five Aces. Her chase leads her to a distant planet, teeming with hostile robots—a scenario that promises intense action and drama.
In a post on Naughty Dog’s website, Druckmann described the game as "our wildest, most creative story yet," and shared that it’s been brewing since 2020. While we’re still waiting for any word on launch dates or platforms, the anticipation is definitely rising. It’ll be fascinating to see how Intergalactic unfolds and just what role the enigmatic heretic prophet plays in the story.
