Cast

Let's meet the crew:

Plot

The game throws you into a future set 2000 years from now, in a timeline that took a different turn back in the 1980s. Get ready, because faith and religion are central themes that drive the narrative forward.

Gameplay

This is a single-player experience that really leans into melee combat. The developers, Naughty Dog, wanted you to feel that sense of being alone and lost on [Sempiria], a planet with its own mysteries. That's why, unlike some other games, Jordan won't have a companion tagging along. It's just you against the unknown!

Development

The team drew inspiration from some awesome sources like Cowboy Bebop and Akira. They've put a ton of work into building the world, even creating 2000 years of history for the religion on [Sempiria].

There have been reports about some intense development cycles, with mandatory overtime starting in late 2025 to help get the game back on track after some delays. While developers were asked to put in extra hours, there was also a guideline to keep weekly work under 60 hours.
