Troy Baker is reuniting with The Last of Us director Neil Druckmann on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and is here to assure fans they don't need to worry; the duo is still butting heads despite him taking a supporting role.

While Troy Baker has a pretty good shot of showing up in any game you play, it's probably fair to say his work with Naughty Dog is his most iconic. Since playing Joel in The Last of Us, Baker has worked with the studio on its sequel and had a starring role in Uncharted 4 as Sam Drake (not to mention a cameo appearance in The Last of Us TV series). So it wasn't surprising to hear that he will be returning for another run as a part of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Speaking to ComicBook, Baker is asked if the clashes between him and The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann are happening less since Baker isn't in the leading role this time around. Thankfully, Baker assures that there's nothing to worry about, as both are still butting heads. "Neil and I will always, it’s our vibe," Baker says, recalling a clash a few weeks prior, adding that "We just love to butt up against each other."
