The Last of Us Successor Intergalactic Surfaces in Leak

Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic has re-surfaced with a new leak, and it seems we’ve just had a crumb of new information to dive into.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was announced back in 2024, and in that time it seems we haven’t really had much in the way of new information.

While the release date is still likely a while away, it seems that Naughty Dog may have hidden small hints towards Intergalactic inside the files of The Last of Us games.

As shared by The Last of Us modder and YouTuber Speclizer, there is some apparent data existing inside the files for one of The Last of Us games regarding Intergalactic.

Although Speclizer isn’t specific about which game these files appear in, they claim that information pertaining to Intergalactic’s main character, Jordan A. Mun, is included there.

According to Speclizer, the “internal name for the main character Jordan A. Mun is ‘jora’”, and that “there is a hoodie outfit for Jordan ‘jora-hoodie-nocloth’”.

They also share two string entries, which they call 'interesting':

• “A Prayer. I tracked the heretic for hours only to be led into a trap. I trapped him upstairs with the demons but not before he shot me. May the demons send him to hell.”
• 'If I should die by the hands of a heretic.”

If these files were datamined from The Last of Us Part 2, it’s entirely possible that these strings are actually cut lines from one of the Seraphite characters who appear during the story.

“Heretic” and “demons” are terms used by the Seraphites to refer to other characters or the infected in The Last of Us universe, after all. So, while it could point to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, it may also just be cut content from The Last of Us: Part 2.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is Naughty Dog’s next game following 2020’s The Last of Us: Part 2. It’s set around 2,000 years in the future, where a bounty hunter named Jordan A. Mun becomes stranded on a remote planet, Sempiria, while tracking the legendary "Five Aces" criminal syndicate.

Although it’s set in the far future, the game is clearly 1980s-inspired. The trailer depicts Jordan watching anime, listening to ‘80s music, and wearing Adidas trainers. It’s quite likely that we’ll end up seeing more about this in the second trailer, though we don't yet know when Naughty Dog is planning on showing more.
