The unveiling of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet at The Game Awards immediately captured public attention, but this initial enthusiasm quickly morphed into widespread criticism.
The controversy revolved around the game's protagonist and central theme, which some viewers felt promoted a specific "agenda."
Statements from Neil Druckmann and Tati Gabriel, intended to quell the backlash, only served to intensify the debate.
Even after 17 days, the negative reaction persists. The announcement trailer proved highly divisive, garnering a significant number of dislikes on YouTube. On the official PlayStation channel, dislikes surpassed 260,000, dwarfing the 90,000 likes. The Naughty Dog channel fared no better, with over 170,000 dislikes outnumbering the 70,000 likes. Comments were disabled on the videos in an effort to de-escalate the situation, but the discussion continues to rage across social media platforms.
However, the future of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet remains uncertain. Naughty Dog has a history of transforming initial negative reception into eventual success, suggesting a potential turnaround.
This incident underscores a major challenge for large game studios: managing the expectations of an increasingly critical and demanding audience.
