The trailer introduced fans to a visually stunning universe and a storyline that hints at depth and complexity, characteristic of Naughty Dog’s narrative-driven approach.
Star-studded Collaboration
In an era where the collaboration between Hollywood and video games is more seamless than ever, “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet” is no exception. The game will feature Tati Gabrielle, known for her dynamic and compelling performances, as the protagonist Jordan. Her journey is accompanied by the musical genius of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who are set to compose an atmospheric score that promises to enhance the immersive experience of the game.
A Leap into Intergalactic Lore
Neil Druckmann, co-president of Naughty Dog, expressed his excitement about the new project on the PlayStation blog, stating, “We’re back! You have been dying to know what’s next for us, and I’m thrilled to finally be able to answer: Naughty Dog’s next game is Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, currently in development for the PlayStation 5 console. We’ve been working on this brand-new adventure since 2020! This game is shaping up to be our wildest, most creative story yet.”
“Intergalactic” introduces players to Jordan A. Mun, a formidable bounty hunter who finds herself stranded on Sempiria, a mysterious planet cut off from the universe for centuries. Druckmann describes Sempiria as a planet where “anyone who’s flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again.” It’s up to Jordan to use her skills and wits to survive and possibly become the first person in over 600 years to escape the planet’s enigmatic pull.
