In a recent job posting, it looks like Naughty Dog is diving into AI technology for the chatter of characters in their upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. That’s me, getting excited about the potential for more lifelike and immersive conversations!
In 2024, Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was unveiled, boasting breathtaking graphics, daring gameplay mechanics, and a promise to surpass any previous work by the creators of The Last of Us and Uncharted.
Although we haven’t announced a launch date yet, it’s clear that many creators are actively working on the project. Notably, Neil Druckmann, who was previously involved with The Last of Us HBO series, has decided to dedicate all his attention to Naughty Dog’s upcoming projects such as Intergalactic.
Naughty Dog to use AI NPCs in upcoming game
The evidence supporting this has grown even stronger with the latest Sony job posting seeking a Senior Dialogue Designer, who will focus on creating “AI-driven conversation systems for NPCs” as well as dialogue for cinematics and gameplay in Naughty Dog’s future projects.
Although the list doesn’t explicitly mention the project as “Intergalactic,” there’s a strong possibility that this job will be connected to Naughty Dog’s upcoming new intellectual property, tentatively known as “Intergalactic.
This significant shift in approach for the studio signifies a new era, as their past games primarily featured handcrafted dialogues. By integrating AI technology, there’s a strong possibility of encountering more interactive Non-Player Characters (NPCs), complex dialogue systems, and a more organic response mechanism to gameplay actions.
Notably, Druckmann and Naughty Dog are embracing this change rather than avoiding it. Earlier this year, Druckmann expressed that AI could bring about a radical shift in content creation, reducing obstacles in production and enabling more complex narratives. However, he did acknowledge that there are ethical concerns associated with it which need to be addressed.
The extent to which AI plays a role in the game Intergalactic remains unclear, however, it’s evident that Non-Player Characters (NPCs) will employ this technology.
