Tati Gabrielle says _Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet_ will let players see "a different side" of Naughty Dog when the studio finally pulls back more of the curtain on its next game.

Gabrielle plays Jordan A. Mun, the bounty hunter at the center of Naughty Dog's new sci-fi adventure. In an IGN interview posted to Instagram during a press event for the _Mortal Kombat 2_ film, where she plays Jade, Gabrielle said she is "super stoked" about the project.

"I am excited to play myself," Gabrielle said. "I think that it's such a different side of Naughty Dog that I think people are going to get really excited for."

Gabrielle also said she believes Naughty Dog has "even challenged [itself] in ways of world building" on _Intergalactic_, though she did not expand on what that means for the game itself.

That makes the comment a small but interesting tease because Naughty Dog has shared relatively little about _Intergalactic_ since its reveal. The studio announced the game in December 2024, calling it a new franchise in development for PlayStation 5. Neil Druckmann said at the time that the team had been working on it since 2020.

The official setup puts Jordan on Sempiria, a distant planet that has been cut off from the outside universe for hundreds of years. According to Naughty Dog's reveal, anyone who traveled there to investigate its past was never heard from again, leaving Jordan trying to become the first person in more than 600 years to escape its orbit.

Naughty Dog has described the game as an emotional, character-driven journey with the studio's "deepest gameplay" so far. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are composing the soundtrack, while Gabrielle leads the cast as Jordan.

The studio is best known for _The Last of Us_ and _Uncharted_, so Gabrielle's framing of _Intergalactic_ as a different side of Naughty Dog fits the larger pitch around a new world, a new lead and a heavier sci-fi identity. It does not, however, come with fresh release timing, gameplay specifics or a broader cast reveal.

That leaves _Intergalactic_ in roughly the same place it has been since its announcement: one of PlayStation's biggest first-party mysteries, with a clearer sense of tone than mechanics and a protagonist Naughty Dog is already putting at the center of the conversation.
