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.
Here’s Naughty Dog’s description of the game, from the YouTube trailer:
Set thousands of years in the future, Intergalactic puts players into the role of 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. 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.
The game stars Tati Gabrielle who played Prudence Night in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It also will feature comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani in some way.
There’s no release date yet, but the game is in development for the PS5.
