Neil Druckmann, the mastermind behind The Last of Us, is ready to raise the stakes with Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Naughty Dog’s fifth major title. In a recent post on his Blue Sky account, Druckmann teased that the upcoming sci-fi adventure would be the studio’s “wildest” yet, a project unlike anything they’ve done before. Although details remain scarce, the excitement surrounding the title is palpable.
The game features a new protagonist, Jordan, a bounty hunter stranded on a mysterious planet with ties to a strange religion. Druckmann shared his admiration for Tati Gabrielle, who plays Jordan, describing her as a powerful presence, drawing parallels to Ashley Johnson’s iconic role as Ellie. Fans are eagerly awaiting the next reveal, especially after the Game Awards trailer left them with more questions than answers (which led to many people disliking it on Youtube).
With a storyline centered on faith and survival, Intergalactic promises an immersive and complex narrative, as well as the deepest gameplay ever seen from Naughty Dog. Taking inspiration from anime classics, the game embarks on an ambitious sci-fi adventure. And fans of the studio’s work should expect a game that challenges both their expectations and emotions.
