Naughty Dog has disabled the comments on the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer following continued discourse and an influx of hate comments. While many were impressed by the lengthy reveal of the upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet continues to draw ire from portions of the gaming community.
The sci-fi action-adventure title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was the final upcoming game reveal shown at The Game Awards 2024. Developed by Naughty Dog, the title will take place thousands of years in the future and will follow Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter stranded on a remote planet searching for the notorious Five Aces crime syndicate. Fans quickly expressed surprise that the new IP hadn’t leaked, as development began after the release of The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020. While the trailer garnered praise for its graphics and music choice, some in the community haven’t been so kind with their feedback.

Fans have discovered a reference to The Last of Us in the trailer for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, leaving fans curious about the connection.
While comments on Naughty Dog’s official upload of the trailer for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet were initially turned on, they have now been turned off following continued backlash. Many have taken to YouTube to express disappointment and frustration regarding the main character’s appearance, despite little being known about her in the first place. Jordan A. Mun is being portrayed by Tati Gabrielle, who many game fans may remember as playing Jo Braddock, the villain in the 2022 live-action Uncharted movie. The Intergalactic trailer was largely disliked on YouTube immediately after its reveal, and at the time of writing, this has not changed.
Although some portions of the population haven’t been won over by Naughty Dog’s new IP, many are eager to hear more news about the title’s impending release. It’s unclear when curious gamers can expect to see the title on store shelves, but some fans believe that a 2027 release is in the cards for Intergalactic, with two potential allusions to the year found in the trailer. However, some others find this unlikely, as Naughty Dog president Niel Druckmann has gone on record to state that he doesn’t want to reveal games too early going forward.
A release date isn’t the only thing fans have begun to speculate about regarding the upcoming sci-fi juggernaut. Some observant viewers think they’ve found some insight into the cast of Intergalactic: The Heretic Project, as a group photo in the trailer features some familiar faces. Some names that have been thrown out include Tony Dalton (Better Call Saul), Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals), and Stephen A. Chang (Bosch: Legacy).
Intergalactic: The Heretic Propher follows 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. 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.
