Naughty Dog has put a year on when we’ll finally get a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Studio head Neil Druckmann has confirmed the full reveal is coming in 2027, with the team staying quiet for the rest of 2026, as VGC report.
Druckmann made the announcement in a studio update that closed out The Last of Us Day at the end of September. He said the team is excited to show the game but needs more time to finish it, and called it “Naughty Dog’s most ambitious game yet.” A new image of the game went out alongside the update.
Details are thin. Naughty Dog first showed Intergalactic with a cinematic trailer at The Game Awards in December 2024, and work on it has been going on since 2020. Beyond that trailer, Naughty Dog has shown very little of it. Druckmann has said before that it will have the deepest gameplay in the studio’s history. It’s a sci-fi adventure for PlayStation 5 that follows bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun, played by Tati Gabrielle, who ends up stranded on Sempiria, a distant planet that lost contact with the rest of the universe hundreds of years ago.
The same update also confirmed two new projects set in The Last of Us world, both in very early development. Druckmann said they will expand the canon beyond Part I and Part II, and that the studio would only go back there with something meaningful to say.
There’s still no release date.
