Intergalactic
In a present that featured reveals for The Witcher 4, Borderlands 4, an Okami sequel and one way or the other, extra Elden Ring content material, you have been going to have to complete large at this yr’s Game Awards. And on this enterprise, which means debuting a brand new Naughty Dog recreation that isn’t a Last of Us remaster. That recreation is Intergalactic: Heretic Prophet.
We’ve heard that Naughty Dog has had a sci-fi recreation within the works for a protracted whereas now. This has reportedly been in growth since 2020, however surprisingly little leaked about it, and that’s led to this primary trailer, which isn’t only a cinematic, and operating within the recreation in real-time:
The recreation stars Uncharted, You and The 100 actress Tati Gabrielle as Jordan, and right here’s the official description of the sport:
“Set 1000’s of years sooner or later, Intergalactic places gamers into the position of Jordan A. Mun, a harmful bounty hunter who finally ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the skin universe went darkish a whole lot of years in the past. Jordan must use all her abilities and wits if she hopes to be the primary individual in over 600 years to go away its orbit.”
We see a quick glimpse of one in all Jordan’s targets who could be very clearly actor Kumail Nanjiani. And the connection was a bit wobbly and he or she has an eyepatch however I’m perhaps 40% certain that’s Sigourney Weaver on that different finish of that decision with Jordan.
Intergalactic
We solely see a number of seconds of precise fight, however regardless of being third individual, this appears to be a big departure from cowl shooters like Uncharted and The Last of Us, a molten sword leaping melee combat in opposition to a mech certain just isn’t their common. I’m certain there are weapons, but it surely appears they wish to take the motion a part of their gameplay to a completely completely different airplane.
There just isn’t even a launch yr for Intergalactic, indicating that regardless of being labored on for 4 years already, it should doubtless not be till at the very least 2026 that we see it launched. And with schedules the best way they’re, perhaps even that’s optimistic.
Naughty Dog merely…doesn’t fail to ship. Even if Intergalactic just isn’t counting on any of their beloved franchises, the objective is clearly to recreate the magic of when Uncharted or The Last of Us burst onto the scene and have become instantaneous trade icons. Hopefully they’ll discover comparable luck with Intergalactic, and that was a really cool debut spot.
