The reveal trailer for Naughty Dog’s new PlayStation 5 game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has been met with significant negativity, evidenced by a higher dislike-to-like ratio on both the PlayStation and Naughty Dog YouTube channels. Furthermore, comments have been disabled on the Naughty Dog video, while the PlayStation version is flooded with criticism.
Neither PlayStation nor Naughty Dog have publicly addressed the backlash. However, Tati Gabrielle, the actress portraying protagonist Jordan A. Mun, responded by sharing provocative fan art on social media with the caption, “You mad bro?” This post, which fueled further online discussion, has since been deleted without explanation. While the reasons for its removal remain unclear, PlayStation’s typically strict public relations practices suggest their involvement.
Gabrielle’s response has further divided public opinion, with some applauding her defiance against the criticism, much of which targets her character specifically, while others find her actions unprofessional.
This negative reception creates a challenging start for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. As a flagship PlayStation title and undoubtedly a costly endeavor, Naughty Dog will need to sell millions of copies to recoup its investment. Given the studio’s past commercial successes, especially with The Last of Us, expectations for Intergalactic are undoubtedly high, placing considerable pressure on the game to perform well.
