However, the specifics of Dalton's character remain undisclosed as Naughty Dog is keeping details tightly under wraps.

Tony Dalton, known for his role in The Last of Us series, has been cast in the game after impressing creator Neil Druckmann, who stated that Dalton was his 'first choice' for the role.

Dalton's performance in Better Call Saul played a significant role in Druckmann's decision to cast him.

Alongside Dalton, Tati Gabrielle, who portrays Nora in The Last of Us, will take on the lead role of Jordan A. Mun in Intergalactic.

Despite the excitement surrounding the project, Intergalactic is not expected to be released until at least 2027, indicating a lengthy development period ahead.

The game is being developed by over 250 developers at Naughty Dog, with Druckmann co-directing the project.

Druckmann has confirmed that the game is currently playable internally, and he described it as 'incredible'.

The game's score will be composed by the acclaimed duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, known for their work with Nine Inch Nails.

The cast also includes Marvel actor Kumail Nanjiani and Halley Gross, a co-writer of The Last of Us: Part II.

Gabrielle has received guidance from Druckmann on preparing for her role, particularly in managing potential online backlash.

Naughty Dog's upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, was announced at The Game Awards 2024 and marks the studio's first new intellectual property in over a decade.

In addition to Intergalactic, Naughty Dog is also developing at least one other game, with Druckmann involved in that project as well.
