Let us remind you that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has been in development for more than six years for PS5, and received its first trailer at The Game Awards 2024. Since then, the game has not received a single showing, but this will change in 2027.
Naughty Dog President and Creative Director Neil Druckmann at the recent Comic Creators Block Party 2026 commented development status and ambitions of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

According to Druckmann, Intergalactic has entered the “final stages of production.” The team is actively testing (from start to finish), calibrating and polishing the game. The project will be the culmination of Naughty Dog’s creative journey.
Druckmann called the game a combination of the sci-fi fantasy of Jak and Daxter, the adventure of Uncharted and the drama of The Last of Us. The studio is also aiming to expand and deepen the gameplay without compromising the cinematic experience.
One of the main sources of inspiration for the project was anime, including Akira.
As for the upcoming show, Naughty Dog is preparing a large presentation revealing the plot, gameplay and cast (partially). “People will be very surprised how different the game is from what they imagined,” Druckmann intrigues.
According to rumors, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will not be released until mid-2027. They promise a creative story, “the deepest gameplay” in Naughty Dog history and a soundtrack featuring Nine Inch Nails singer Trent Reznor.
