What to expect
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is Naughty Dog's first original IP since The Last of Us — a far-future sci-fi action adventure starring bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun, stranded on Sempiria, a long-lost human colony cut off from the rest of the galaxy for six centuries.
Director Neil Druckmann teases a story-driven journey across alien worlds, with the studio's trademark cinematic combat, performance capture and emotional storytelling pushed into uncharted genre territory.
