Following its big reveal at The Game Awards, Naughty Dog shares the inspiration behind its new IP, Intergalatic: The Heretic Prophet, and more.

As I perused the many trailers that appeared at last night’s Game Awards, I had a fair few moments of, “Ooh, yes!” and “Oh wow, that looks fun!” but it wasn’t until the reveal for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet that I sat up and said,

The Game Awards’ final world premiere was Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Developed by Naughty Dog, Intergalactic is a futuristic space opera with the kind of retropunk vibes that remind me of Cowboy Bebop. Indeed, the trailer even featured an anime playing in the background reminiscent of Dirty Pair.
