About Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

Naughty Dog has not launched an original series since The Last of Us arrived in 2013. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet unfolds thousands of years from now and casts the player as Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter marooned on Sempiria, a planet that went silent to the rest of the universe centuries ago and which nobody has left since. Neil Druckmann is directing, with Tati Gabrielle playing Jordan. It was announced at The Game Awards in December 2024.

Sony has not given the game a release date and neither has Naughty Dog; the PlayStation Store listing still reads as to be confirmed. Reporting has pointed at 2027 as the internal target, and Bloomberg ruled out 2026 earlier, but neither of those is an announcement. It is a PlayStation 5 release. So far the studio has shown a cinematic reveal and very little actual play, so the honest position is that nobody outside Naughty Dog knows how close this is to finished.
