The sci-fi action game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet from Naughty Dog has reached the final stage of production. Naughty Dog head, writer, and game director Neil Druckmann announced this during his appearance at the Comic Creators Block Party 2026 event. According to him, the game can already be played from beginning to end, while the team is currently focused on final improvements and polishing.
Druckmann refrained from revealing any story spoilers, but confirmed that a full gameplay showcase and new story details should be expected next year, in 2027. This is consistent with the studio's September statement that the project needs a little more time before another presentation. For now, the only confirmed platform for the game remains PlayStation 5, while Sony Interactive Entertainment will serve as the publisher.
Describing the concept of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Neil Druckmann noted that the game combines elements of three of the studio's main franchises:
After two decades of working on "grounded" series, the developers set out to preserve their signature cinematic storytelling while significantly deepening the gameplay mechanics. The story takes place 2,000 years in the future and follows bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun, who becomes trapped on the distant planet of Sempiria while pursuing a criminal.
The official release date for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has not yet been announced. Alongside the final polishing of this game, Naughty Dog continues working on new projects set in The Last of Us universe.
As a reminder, GTA 6 surpassed the $1 billion mark and sold 11.27 million copies a week before its release.
