As popular as The Last of Us has become over the last decade, it's no secret that many Naughty Dog fans were disgruntled with the lack of new projects from the studio. That’s all changed though, as they revealed their new game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which looks like a return to the studio's roots… sort of.

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.
