Naughty Dog’s next is a sci-fi epic, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet – Times of India

Naughty Dog has announced its latest project: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a science fiction adventure exclusively coming to PlayStation 5. The Intergalactic will be the fifth franchise to come from the studio, who have previously worked on Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, and The Last of Us.
The game follows Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter stranded on the mysterious planet Sempiria, where no one has escaped orbit in over 600 years. Revealed during The Game Awards 2024, the announcement trailer showcased a futuristic landscape featuring protagonist Jordan, played by actress Tati Gabrielle, navigating a retro-futuristic spaceship.

The game’s narrative centers on Jordan’s struggle to survive and potentially become the first person to leave Sempiria in centuries. With a setting that evokes comparisons to anime like Cowboy Bebop, the title aims to create a unique sci-fi experience. Music legends Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will compose the game’s soundtrack. The star-studded cast also includes comedian Kumail Nanjiani in a brief role.
The development team, led by studio head Neil Druckmann, has been working on the project since 2020. The game promises to deliver what Naughty Dog describes as its “deepest gameplay in history,” blending the studio’s renowned narrative depth with innovative game mechanics. While an exact release date remains unannounced, the game is confirmed for PlayStation 5.
