Naughty Dog's highly anticipated game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, is reportedly set for a 2027 release, as confirmed by Neil Druckmann. The game, unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, focuses on a bounty hunter in an alternate timeline with prominent themes of faith and religion. Despite the long wait, Druckmann assures that the game is currently playable and has received positive feedback from the development team. The release timing raises questions about whether it will be a PlayStation 5 title or target the upcoming PlayStation 6, as Naughty Dog has primarily released remasters for the current console.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is expected to release in 2027 at the earliest.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet marks an exciting new venture for Naughty Dog after their success with The Last of Us series. The game's unique premise involves an in-depth exploration of a lost civilization centered around a complex religion, making it distinct from previous titles. Fans are eager to see how this new narrative unfolds, especially considering Druckmann's past work has elicited strong reactions from gamers.
