The project is scheduled for release in 2026.
Neil Druckmann, president and creative director of Naughty Dog, stated in a new interview with Variety that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will be the most ambitious and expensive game the studio has ever worked on.
This is the biggest and most ambitious game we've ever worked on. It may be the most expensive one when we finish it.
Druckmann declined to say exactly how much SIE has already invested in the production of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Currently, Naughty Dog's most expensive game is The Last of Us Part 2, which cost more than $220 million to produce.
According to Druckmann, the project represents an evolution of Naughty Dog's signature style: dynamic third-person action with shooter elements, deep emotional storytelling, and role-playing mechanics.
