Golden Globe Winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to Score Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the acclaimed composers behind the score for Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, have recently won a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. This dynamic duo is also composing the music for Naughty Dog's highly anticipated game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. A recent trailer showcased their work, alongside a glimpse of the game's licensed soundtrack.

Reznor and Ross, renowned for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their award-winning film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), bring a wealth of experience to the gaming world. Reznor previously contributed to the soundtrack of Quake (1996) and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting their Golden Globe for Challengers, Ross described the score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one." The contemporary, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

A Perfect Pairing for Intergalactic?

While their Nine Inch Nails roots might seem unexpected for video game and film scoring, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated versatility, crafting diverse soundscapes—from the haunting atmosphere of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. With online speculation suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their selection as composers seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies anticipation for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, fans can expect a truly exceptional soundscape, regardless of the game's final form.
