Naughty Dog has begun searching for a Junior Tester for the Russian localization of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The corresponding job opening was published by Naughty Dog — the studio is looking for someone who is proficient in Russian and English, pays close attention to detail, and is passionate about video games. The work can be done remotely, in a hybrid format, or even exclusively at the Naughty Dog office in Santa Monica.

Many readers likely thought this is a dream job, especially since a native speaker would be the preferred candidate. Unfortunately, to join the studio behind The Last of Us and Uncharted, one needs a work permit for the USA. And the job itself won't be a sinecure.

After all, the Junior Tester must not only check dialogues and texts in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet in Russian. The responsibilities include creating and executing test plans, logging bugs, and re-checking materials after implemented corrections. The candidate must be prepared for overtime work and taking on additional duties.

The base salary range is from 17 to 27 dollars per hour. However, the tester won't be a permanent employee — the vacancy is for a limited time only. Presumably, until the release of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

The vacancy confirms that the future game will have Russian language support. However, this is not surprising. Naughty Dog is an internal PlayStation studio. Despite leaving the Russian market, the Japanese brand continues to create full Russian localizations for its new games.

It's possible that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is at a stage where the main texts and dialogues in the game are already ready. However, don't expect the new title in 2026, as insiders have reported. Also, the action game allegedly has an internal demo, the creation of which required weeks of overtime work.
