The
Game
Awards
2024
was
capped
off
by
Sony’s

Naughty
Dog
revealing
a
brand
new
IP
that
has
been
in
development
since
2020.
Given
the
developer
it
goes
without
saying
that
it’ll
be
a

PlayStation
exclusive.

Intergalactic:
The
Heretic
Prophet
is
the
first
new
IP
from
Naughty
Dog
in
nearly
two
decades.
The
studio
has
worked
on
nothing
aside
from
The
Last
of
Us
and
Uncharted,
so
it’s
exciting
to
see
them
tackling
something
new
and
a
little
less
depressing
than
The
Last
of
Us.

The
trailer
leans
into
a
retro
sci-fi
vibe
not
altogether
dissimilar
to
Guardians
of
the
Galaxy.
In
fact,
like
Star
Lord
leading
character
Jordan
seems
to
have
a
thing
for
holding
onto
nostalgic
items;
she’s
watching
80’s
anime,
her
ship
has
been
branded
Porsche,
she
has
a
Sony
CD
player
and
is
wearing
Adidas
shoes.
It’s…well,
the
trailer
does
lay
it
on
a
bit
thick,
coming
across
more
like
ad
placements
than
part
of
who
Jordan
is,
but
hopefully
the
full
game
will
make
better
use
of
it.

“Intergalactic
stars
our
newest
protagonist,
Jordan
A.
Mun,
a
dangerous
bounty
hunter
who
ends
up
stranded
on
Sempiria
–
a
distant
planet
whose
communication
with
the
outside
universe
went
dark
hundreds
of
years
ago”

reads
the
official
blog
post.
“In
fact,
anyone
who’s
flown
to
it
hoping
to
unravel
its
mysterious
past
was
never
heard
from
again.
Jordan
will
have
to
use
all
her
skills
and
wits
if
she
hopes
to
be
the
first
person
in
over
600
years
to
leave
its
orbit.”

I
found
it
slightly
funny
that
a
game
titled
Intergalactic
seems
to
be
about
being
stranded
on
a
single
planet.
But
maybe
we
will
get
to
visit
a
few
more
places?

The
debut
trailer
didn’t
really
do
much
for
me,
I
have
to
admit.
The
nostalgic
sci-fi
vibe
has
become
overplayed
in
recent
years
and
the
trailer
doesn’t
give
us
much
of
an
idea
of
what
the
game
will
really
be,
or
even
do
a
great
job
of
setting
up
the
story
or
vibe.
However,
Naughty
Dog
are
an
excellent
studio
and
I’m
excited
to
see
them
do
something
that
isn’t
The
Last
of
Us,
even
if
I
was
kind
of
hoping
they’d
go
even
crazier
and
return
to
their
cartoony
Jak
&
Daxter
and
Crash
Bandicoot
days.
