Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is in the final stages of development
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
In September 2026, Druckmann confirmed that Naughty Dog plans to fully unveil the game in 2027.
Naughty Dog's action game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has entered the final stage of production. This was revealed by the project's game director and writer Neil Druckmann during his appearance at the Comic Creators Block Party 2026 event.
In a conversation with host Patton Oswalt, Druckmann stated that the game is already fully playable from start to finish, and the development team is currently refining and polishing it. However, he refrained from sharing further details about the project, as a full presentation will take place later.
This is our dive into sci-fi, and so far we've only pulled back the curtain a little bit, so I can't say too much. But right now we're in the final stage of production: the game is already playable, and we're refining and polishing it. I can't wait to show it to the world.
He also discussed which previous Naughty Dog works influenced the creation of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. According to the developer, the new game will combine elements from three of the studio's franchises: Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, and The Last of Us.
From the first series, the team borrowed the sci-fi and fantasy elements; from Uncharted, the spirit of adventure and dynamic action; and from The Last of Us, a serious dramatic story.
In addition, Naughty Dog aims to significantly deepen the gameplay mechanics while preserving the studio's signature cinematic storytelling.
We wanted to take everything we've learned over the years working on these franchises and bring it together into one project. We also wanted to expand the depth of the game systems. Can we keep our familiar cinematic approach to storytelling while simultaneously making the gameplay mechanics even more elaborate?
As a reminder, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was revealed at The Game Awards 2024. The game is set in the distant future, following bounty hunter Jordan A. Moon, who finds herself stranded on the remote planet of Sempiria.
