Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Trailer Features The Last of Us Easter Eggs

by

As a long-time fan of Naughty Dog and their captivating universe of games, I was absolutely thrilled when they unveiled “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet” at The Game Awards. The cinematic trailer alone was a visual masterpiece, but it was the Easter eggs hidden within that truly had me hooked.

Title “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet” is the upcoming project from renowned developer Naughty Dog, who are famous for creating masterpieces like “The Last of Us”, “Uncharted”, “Crash Bandicoot”, and “Jak and Daxter”. At The Game Awards, Naughty Dog unveiled this new title with a cinematic trailer. Although the trailer ended with a short clip of gameplay, it primarily showcased the main character and offered fans a sneak peek into the science fiction universe where “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet” is set. The trailer was rich in Easter eggs from Naughty Dog’s games and history, which some viewers might have overlooked.

The primary character’s name is Jordan A. Mun, abbreviated as JAM, in the game “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.” Interestingly, the original name of Naughty Dog was JAM Software. This seems more than a mere coincidence, suggesting that the game may have been in development for quite some time, and Naughty Dog might have chosen this name as a tribute to their past.

In a new discovery, one of Jordan’s ship records is named “Savage Starlight,” which is a collectible comic and trading card from the game “The Last of Us” and its sequel “The Last of Us Part II.” The CD soundtrack serves as a subtle reference to another Naughty Dog title, suggesting that “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet” and “The Last of Us” might share some connection in their universes. Remarkably, the comic “Savage Starlight” is set in a futuristic sci-fi world, possibly even belonging to “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’s” universe.

In various hidden references, or Easter eggs, within the Uncharted series, Jordan is depicted sipping from a cup belonging to Macho Nacho, a restaurant that figures in the Uncharted universe. This eatery was where Elena worked during her high school years, as revealed within the game. Another allusion to the series can be found in Jordan’s posture in the title card. She is shown with her sword resting on her back and looking over her shoulder, mimicking Nathan Drake’s pose on the cover art for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

In the trailer, there’s a secret QR code that has left fans puzzled. They’ve been trying to crack its meaning and have come up with two possible sequences: 66260600410 or 66260700410. However, no one is sure if these numbers hold any significance yet. The most popular theory suggests they might represent Planck’s Constant, a concept in quantum mechanics and space. Some speculate it could be linked to the release date of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’s. Others have attempted using the number as a geographical coordinate on Earth’s map, but without success.

To put it simply, the upcoming game titled “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet” is not subtle about its sources of inspiration. Instead of hidden references (or easter eggs), it pays tribute to influential works such as “Cowboy Bebop” and “Akira“. For instance, the protagonist Jordan’s red jacket, ship, and bounty hunter profession are reminiscent of these iconic titles. Additionally, Kumail Nanjiani is set to play a character named Colin Graves, and Jordan’s ship is modeled after a Porsche, her shoes resemble Adidas, and the Sony sound system is featured. Being known for their love of hidden details (or easter eggs), it’s expected that more will be unveiled in future trailers for “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet“.
