Excitement is brewing around Naughty Dog’s latest creation, “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet,” which was unveiled at this year’s Game Awards. Set in a sci-fi setting, the game offers a glimpse of a character’s daily life, indulging in some old-school anime and spinning a pet shop record, before heading off on an exhilarating space quest. The world depicted here is more gritty and raw than the familiar sleekness of Star Wars. Imagine the charm of CRT monitors, retro tech, and clunky keyboards – the protagonist’s spaceship is a testament to practicality over polish.
Naughty Dog, owned by Sony, has built a reputation for crafting games that are rich in adventure and cinematic storytelling, with hits like “The Last of Us” and “Uncharted” under its belt. This upcoming project holds a promise too, featuring Troy Baker, known for his iconic role as Joel in “The Last of Us,” taking on the role of the protagonist. At the helm is Neil Druckmann, the creative genius behind “The Last of Us” series and “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.” The trailer teases a captivating plot where bounty hunter Jordan Munn is on the trail of a notorious crime gang dubbed The Five Aces. Things take a twist when Jordan finds herself marooned on a remote planet, facing hostile robots.
In a blog post on Naughty Dog’s website, Druckmann described this game as “our wildest, most creative story yet,” and shared that the development process kicked off in 2020. While there’s no word yet on when it will hit the shelves or on which platforms, the buzz is building. Gamers everywhere are eager to see how “Intergalactic” unfolds and when exactly the heretic prophet will step into the spotlight.
