Is Tati Gabrielle the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Actress?

Yes, Tati Gabrielle is starring in the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet with other stars like Kumail Nanjiani and Halley Gross, the latter of whom co-wrote The Last of Us Part 2 game with Neil Druckmann.

Gabrielle revealed her thoughts on starring in this game in an interview with EW: “It still trips me out, the trajectory of all of this and Neil telling me all the time, 'You're part of the Naughty Dog family now.' ... I think the universe works in such interesting ways."

The synopsis of the game is:

“Intergalactic stars our newest protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. In fact, anyone who’s flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.”
