Another actor has joined the cast for Naughty Dog’s upcoming new IP Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Robin Atkin Downes, who played Robert in Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us and multiple characters in the studio’s Uncharted games, said on social media that he’s set to appear in Intergalactic. He didn’t say who he is playing, but as you can tell from the video below, he’s obviously very excited about it.
Downes is a prolific video game actor, having lent his voice to dozens of games over the years. He also voiced the Medic in Team Fortress 2, Travis Touchdown in No More Heroes, and Spider in Destiny 2: Forsaken. Additionally, Downes voiced Ballistic in Apex Legends.
Intergalactic is in the works now for PS5, but we still don’t know much about it, or when it may release. The game, which takes place thousands of years in the future, stars Tati Gabrielle as Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter who becomes stranded on a faraway planet called Sempira.
The game has been in development since 2020, and also features Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross scoring the soundtrack. Some of the other actors confirmed for Intergalactic include Kumail Nanjiani, Tony Dalton, Troy Baker, and Merle Dandridge.
