Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet announcement trailer
Naughty Dog
The Game Awards 2024 served up a lot of exciting new trailers and first glimpses at games that are coming out in the next 12 months and beyond.
Astro Bot scooped the Game of the Year gong on the night as one of four awards it picked up.
With these kind of award ceremonies though, fans are usually most interested in what's coming up and they were not disappointed with first looks at Naughty Dog's new project, The Witcher 4, Borderlands 4 and loads more.
Here's every new announcement, along with every new trailer, that was revealed at The Game Awards 2024.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
The final announcement of the night is usually saved for the biggest one and that seemed to be the case this time around too as Naughty Dog's new IP was revealed.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the famous studio's first new IP in more than 10 years and the first new game it is working on since The Last of Us: Part II released in 2020.
Naughty Dog's portfolio also includes Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter and Uncharted.
The bio for the game said: "Intergalactic stars our newest protagonist, 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. In fact, anyone who's flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again. 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."
It seems to be a game influenced by the 80s with a lot of sci-fi visuals.
No release date has been given yet and as it's Naughty Dog, a PlayStation studio, the game will release on PS5 and then likely PC at some point in the future.
