Naughty Dog’s next game is the new, original game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and it will show a “different side” of the developer, according to the game’s lead actor.
Tati Gabrielle, who plays the game’s protagonist Jordan A. Mun, told IGN that Intergalactic represents “such a different side of Naughty Dog that I think people are going to get really excited for.”
Gabrielle did not elaborate further on this, but added, “It seems that they’ve even challenged themselves in ways of world building. I’m super stoked.”
A sci-fi game, Intergalactic has been in development since 2020 and Naughty Dog has said it’s the “wildest, most creative story” the studio has ever come up with. You play as Mun, a bounty hunter who gets stuck on the planet of Sempiria. Naughty Dog has said the game will offer the “deepest gameplay” in the studio’s history, but it’s unclear what that actually means.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, both of Nine Inch Nails, are scoring Intergalactic, and Naughty Dog said “the guys are cooking.” Other actors confirmed for roles in the game include Troy Baker, Kumail Nanjiani, and Tony Dalton.
Dalton and Gabrielle appeared in HBO’s The Last of Us TV show, while Gabrielle also had a role in the 2022 Uncharted movie, which was based on Naughty Dog’s franchise.
In addition to Intergalactic, Naughty Dog is said to be working on The Last of Us: Part III. In other related news, The Last of Us Season 3 on HBO is expected in 2027, and it will focus more on Abby.
