Intergalactic: The Heretic Project's sci-fi sword fights might seem a departure for Naughty Dog, but it's actually the perfect evolution from Uncharted 4

On Sempiria in an Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet PS5 screenshot, Jodran leaps towards a robot with her glowing red sword.

If you can count on Naughty Dog for one thing, it's not to rest on its laurels. Way back with Crash Bandicoot, the studio parted ways with the franchise after an industry-defining trilogy. The same was true for the Jak and Daxter games. And, rather than put all of its artefacts in one treasure hunting basket with Uncharted, it also developed the much grittier The Last of Us to go alongside it. Intergalactic: The Heretic Project sees a similar shift, introducing a brand new sci-fi setting. But despite seeming a departure on the surface, it's still as Naughty Dog as it gets

From the brief teases we've seen so far, Intergalactic is still as character-forward as ever – leveraging the phenomenal motion capture and acting talent the studio has become known for. It sees bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun (Tati Gabrielle – Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, You, and yes, the Uncharted movie) perhaps unwisely takes on a particularly dangerous bounty.
