Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet – Naughty Dog’s Sci-Fi Adventure Still in Development
Naughty Dog’s highly anticipated sci-fi game, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, is still taking shape after its development began in 2020. Creative Director Neil Druckmann revealed in Sony’s “Creator to Creator” video series that many details about the project remain uncertain and the game is constantly evolving. The game, announced at The Game Awards 2024 to much excitement, is seen as the studio’s move to launch a new franchise.
# The Development of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Speaking about *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, Neil Druckmann stated, “A lot of people are working on this project, and the process is quite complex. I still don’t know exactly what the final form of the game will be, but I have a theory and an idea.” These statements indicate that the game’s development process is not yet in its final stages.
The game is set approximately 2000 years in the future and tells a sci-fi story where a new protagonist, bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun, is stranded on a dangerous planet. In an environment where everyone who enters the planet’s orbit faces death, the story explores survival and delves into themes of religion and faith. Druckmann has indicated that these themes are a major focus of the game and could spark diverse discussions among players.
*Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet* aims to be one of Naughty Dog’s most creative stories. The developers state that the game will stand out with both deep gameplay and a compelling sci-fi narrative. However, given that development is still in the early stages, no release date has been announced.
Naughty Dog is known for lengthy development cycles, as seen with previous major titles like *The Last of Us Part II*. Therefore, players may need to wait a while longer for *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*. More information will be shared as the game’s details evolve.
