Naughty Dog’s New Game May Include Horror Elements
Naughty Dog, the renowned developer behind games like The Last of Us, has teased its new project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and it could have horror elements. The game was first revealed in a short trailer at the 2024 Game Awards, showcasing a space adventure filled with killer robots, a strong soundtrack, and intriguing product placements.
Fans are eager for details, and recent social media posts from contributors offer clues. Illustrator Colin Lorimer, who worked on the initial pitch, tagged the game with “sci-fi,” “horror,” and “fantasy,” suggesting horror may be a key theme. The game’s storyline, which explores the consequences of placing faith in institutions, hints at a darker tone.
Naughty Dog has experience blending horror with strong narratives, as seen in The Last of Us. With the involvement of artists like Tye Martinez, known for his macabre concept art, and the renowned composer duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, it’s likely that Intergalactic will incorporate unsettling, possibly terrifying, elements.
Details on the game’s release remain scarce, but fans are already speculating about the potential horror aspects in this space-faring adventure.
