INTERGALACTIC: The Heretic Prophet - by Naughty Dog (PS5)
Set thousands of years in the future, Intergalactic puts players into the role of 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. 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.

I can’t believe all of the negative press and controversy this is getting.
People need to chillax.

But I remain leary of the protagonist beyond just her looks. The “smarmy, know-it-all girlboss” is the new “grizzled white dude” when it comes to tiresome video game character tropes. Maybe that’s not Jordan, but that’s the vibe I get. And like many other gamers, I’m tired of getting preached at, and maybe that won’t happen in Intergalactic, but it’s a valid concern at this point when it comes to AAA Western video games. I don’t mind political themes in games, but modern politics—whether they’re rightwing identity politics or social justice identity politics—just break immersion and make a game feel instantly dated. We shall see.

It's developed for PS5, and the trailer footage was taken from a PS5 (though no mention if it was a base model or Pro). That being said, this being Naughty Dog (and assuming the game is a hit), it'll get a PS6 remaster and a PS7 remake.

Looks like this is getting delayed into 2027. At that point, why not just make it a PS6 launch title (if rumors are true about the PS6 coming out that year)
