At The Game Awards 2024, Naughty Dog, the renowned studio behind iconic franchises like The Last of Us and Uncharted, unveiled their latest project: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The announcement sent shockwaves through our bones because this is the studio’s first venture into the sci-fi genre.
Set thousands of years in the future, Intergalactic transports players to the far reaches of space. The story follows Jordan A. Mun, a skilled and ruthless bounty hunter who finds herself stranded on Sempiria, a mysterious and desolate planet. Once a thriving hub of communication, Sempiria has been cut off from the rest of the universe for over 600 years, and Jordan is faced with the daunting task of navigating its secrets and hostile environments to be the first to escape its orbit.
The trailer, which debuted at The Game Awards, showcased a breathtaking cinematic sequence filled with jaw-dropping visuals. The soundtrack was teased to be a collaboration with the legendary Trent Reznor, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and most recently the film Challengers. The music’s haunting tones and intense beats are expected to bring a whole new level of immersion to the game’s world.
Naughty Dog’s mastery of storytelling will be on full display in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Just as the studio captured hearts with emotional narratives in The Last of Us, this new project promises to dive deep into the psyche of its protagonist, Jordan, as she uncovers hidden truths about the planet and her past.
With Intergalactic, Naughty Dog is venturing into uncharted territory, and based on the early teaser, we already anticipate an unforgettable journey through space.
