The exact release date is still unknown, but there is a hint that the project is nearing completion. Recently, Neil Druckmann mentioned the game in his biography on X, which fans took as a hint of an upcoming presentation.
An additional signal of the approaching completion of development appeared in the form of vacancies from the studio, suggesting that the game creation process is close to the final stage.
Naughty Dog has begun preparing localizations for different countries and is looking for specialists to work on the Japanese and French versions. At the same time, the Japanese version is already closed. This indicates that testing and final touches to the game are in full swing. Localization is usually one of the last stages of development, so many players expect Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet to be released in early 2027.
The gaming community is closely following the news, because this is a large-scale project that meets Naughty Dog's standards with high-quality graphics and unique gameplay.
