Naughty Dog is reaching for the stars (Sony Interactive Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Elden Ring<\/a> is the biggest influence for the next game from the makers of The Last Of Us<\/a>, after the director previously spoke of his admiration for FromSoftware.<\/p>\n

Naughty Dog finally revealed its next game<\/a> during last year’s The Game Awards<\/a> but it didn’t really explain what the game is and there are still a lot of unanswered questions about it.<\/p>\n

As shown in the reveal trailer, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet swaps the gritty realism of The Last Of Us<\/a> for an 80s inspired sci-fi adventure. You play as Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter who finds herself stranded on a distant planet called Sempira, whose ‘communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago’.<\/p>\n

While we know the premise, the gameplay of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is largely a mystery – although it seems to be some kind of third person actioner. An insider, however, has now claimed the game is inspired by FromSoftware’s juggernaut epic, Elden Ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This rumour stems from MinnMax podcast host Ben Hanson, who teased in October last year<\/a> that ‘somebody very in the know who worked on the game’ had compared Naughty Dog’s next title \u2013 before it was officially announced \u2013 to a game ‘with a lot of player freedom’.<\/p>\n

While he didn’t reveal the point of comparison at the time, Hanson teased the cited inspiration in the latest episode of The MinnMax Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘I think it’s fine to say it now, that game was Elden Ring, is what it was compared to,’ Hanson said. ‘If I’d have said, ‘Naughty Dog’s next game is like Elden Ring’, then that reveal trailer comes out, I feel like we would have been lit on fire.’<\/p>\n

While he doesn’t go into any further detail about what this comparison means, this comes after Neil Druckmann, the director behind Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, teased that he wanted players to feel ‘lost’ without any AI companion.<\/p>\n
