The Last of Us Actress Teases Her Involvement in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

Naughty Dog, a studio that is mostly known for Uncharted and The Last of Us game series, is working on their new IP—Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The game was announced during The Game Awards 2024; it’s currently in active development for PlayStation 5, with the release date remaining unknown.

We already know some actors who will portray or voice characters in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Tati Gabriele will portray the protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, while some well-known names like Troy Baker, Tony Dalton, and Kumail Nanjiani are also involved. And it looks like we have another name in the list teased by the game’s director and the head of Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann. On his Instagram page, he revealed the photo of Merle Dandridge, who did some motion capture and left a promising comment, which you can check out below:

“Merle Dandridge is is a n̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ intergalactic treasure”

The word ‘intergalactic’ doesn’t seem to be random in this case, as Dandridge previously worked with Naughty Dog: she’s mostly known for her Marlene role in The Last of Us and The Last of Us: Part II, but also voiced Evelyn and Sister Catherine in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Later, she also returned to the role of Marlene in HBO’s The Last of Us TV show.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet recently received the official page in the PlayStation Store, and that might indicate Naughty Dog will reveal new information about the game. It’s still one of the most anticipated titles, although the release date still remains unconfirmed.
