Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is Start of a Franchise, Says Naughty Dog
Naughty Dog has confirmed upcoming action-adventure game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will start a new franchise. The sci-fi bounty hunting game will launch exclusively on PS5 in 2025.
Following the studio’s long-running successes with The Last of Us and Uncharted, Naughty Dog is set to begin a new journey with Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which the developer says will start a franchise.
With Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us now a successful HBO TV series, many wonder if the developer’s newest IP will expand beyond gaming into other media. There’s also already hope for sequels and DLC.
What We Know About Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is a sci-fi action-adventure game set 2,000 years in an alternative, 80s-inspired future. The game follows Jordan, a bounty hunter who crash lands on the religious planet of Sempiria, which has fallen silent for 600 years.
In a recent podcast, creator Neil Druckmann revealed he wanted to make a game about “faith and religion.” Druckmann says he wants players to be “lost in a place where you’re really confused about what happened here.”
Naughty Dog’s Plans for a New Franchise
Now that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is confirmed as a new franchise, hinting at potential post-launch DLC, expansions, spin-offs, sequels, and possible prequels.
By looking at other Naughty Dog franchises, such as TLOU, we could see the game expand beyond gaming. The Last of Us has expanded into comic books, tabletop gaming, and TV.
What This Means for Naughty Dog Fans
Unlike its previous franchises, Naughty Dog wants Intergalactic to make players feel isolated while retaining the character-driven narratives the studio is famous for.
It’s clear that this is the developer’s most ambitious project yet. With confirmation that it will be a franchise, fans can look forward to years of support and content.
Conclusion
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is shaping up to be the start of something massive for Naughty Dog. The studio is planning a franchise that could span across multiple games and media. Are you excited for the upcoming PS5 sci-fi game? Let us know in the comments.
