We finally know what Naughty Dog's new game is, and it's...well, it's pretty different to The Last of Us, by the looks of things. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is a sci-fi action game that's "currently in development for the PlayStation 5 console".
Naughty Dog announced Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet during yesterday's Game Awards ceremony, which is also where we learned that Hideki Kamiya will be returning to direct a sequel to 2006 Zelda-esque action-adventure game Okami.
As studio head Neil Druckmann says in a followup PlayStation Blog post, Naughty Dog has been working on this game since it released The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020, and it'll be the studio's "wildest, most creative story yet", according to Druckmann.
Naughty Dog's new game revolves around Jordan A. Mun, a "dangerous bounty hunter" who finds herself stranded on a distant planet known as Sempiria.
The planet's communication with the rest of the universe "went dark" hundreds of years in the past, and Mun will have to find out why if she wants "to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit".
