At The Game Awards 2024, a significant event in the gaming world, Naughty Dog made a grand revelation. The studio, renowned for its masterpieces like The Last of Us and Uncharted, presented its brand new game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, specifically designed for the PlayStation 5. This game has been in the making since 2020 and is set to become the next big franchise under Naughty Dog's banner.

Naughty Dog's Boldest Gaming Adventure Awaits

Game's Background and Setting

The Heretic Prophet is set thousands of years into the future. It follows the story of Jordan A. Mun, a remarkable bounty hunter who finds herself stranded on the planet of Sempira. This planet has been cut off from the outside universe for hundreds of years. Jordan is now using every skill at her disposal, striving to be the first person in over 600 years to leave this isolated world. Her daily routine, such as freshening up and shaving her head, gives a glimpse into her life on Sempira.

Tati Gabrielle, who will play Nora in The Last of Us TV show's upcoming second season, brings Jordan to life. The reveal trailer also features Kumail Nanjiani as Colin Graves, a target for bounty hunters. The trailer ends with a thrilling scene as Jordan takes out her red laser sword and engages in a fierce battle with a giant robot.

Director's Vision and Game Features

Director Neil Druckmann emphasizes that this will be Naughty Dog's most creative and wild story yet. It is filled with emotional moments and character development that will captivate players. The game's soundtrack is a collaborative effort between Trent Renzor and Atticus Ross, adding another layer of depth to the gaming experience.

Back in February, a trademark for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was registered in the United States, Europe, and Australia. Currently, Naughty Dog has two single-player games in development, and it seems that The Heretic Prophet is one of them. This indicates the studio's commitment to delivering high-quality gaming experiences and expanding their creative horizons.
