Troy Baker Opens Up About His Role in the Cosmic Journey of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

The omnipresent favorite of the gaming community, **Troy Baker**, has commented for the first time on his involvement in the new project from **Naughty Dog** — [*Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*](https://stopgame.ru/game/intergalactic_the_heretic_prophet). After the more grounded experiences of **Uncharted** and **The Last of Us**, the team has decided to venture into space and craft a completely fresh narrative, departing from their usual storylines.

The game was officially [unveiled](https://stopgame.ru/newsdata/65114/intergalactic_the_heretic_prophet_nauchno_fantasticheskaya_igra_ot_naughty_dog) at The Game Awards last year. The story revolves around a sci-fi adventure featuring a bounty hunter who is chasing a crime syndicate on a distant planet. Although a release date has not yet been announced, it is rumored that the game will not hit the shelves for at least a couple of years, with a possible launch [after 2026](https://stopgame.ru/newsdata/66239/intergalactic_the_heretic_prophet_startuet_posle_2026_go_peredal_shrayer).

In an interview with [ComicBook](https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/troy-baker-makes-first-comments-about-naughty-dogs-intergalactic-game-exclusive/), **Baker** revealed that he is once again collaborating with **Neil Druckmann**, the creative director at **Naughty Dog**. Their creative partnership has been known since the original [*The Last of Us*](https://stopgame.ru/game/last_of_us_the), yet Baker mentioned that their passion for debate has not diminished over time.

This time around, **Baker** is playing a supporting character rather than the lead, which he believes allows him to observe the process more calmly and assist the team effectively.

**Baker** expressed his aspiration to shape his career in the gaming industry similar to that of **George Clooney** — an actor who thrives in both major productions and more modest, artistic films.

He admires **Clooney** not just for his roles in films like **»O Brother, Where Art Thou?»** and **»Michael Clayton,»** but also for his directorial endeavors. According to **Baker**, filmmakers continue to invite **Clooney** to projects like **»Ocean’s Eleven,»** **»Up in the Air,»** and **»The American»** because he is such a delight to work with.

Troy emphasized that his primary goal is not fame or accolades, but rather contributing to the creation of amazing video games.
