The announcement of Neil Druckmann's latest game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, sparked a whirlwind of emotions among fans, and it's only now that we're getting our first glimpse into its intriguing setting. Druckmann unveiled these details on the Creator to Creator show, shedding light on a narrative that promises to captivate players.
Set in an alternate future that veers off from our own timeline in the late ‘80s, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet introduces a universe where a new religion emerges and ascends to dominance. Naughty Dog dedicated several years to meticulously crafting the lore of this religion, tracing its journey from the inception by its first prophet through to its later evolutions and distortions.
The heart of this new religion beats on a single, isolated planet, which over time becomes entirely severed from the rest of the galaxy. It is on this very planet that the protagonist finds herself after a dramatic crash-landing. Stranded in a desolate environment, she faces the daunting challenge of survival without any companionship—a stark departure from Naughty Dog's previous titles where characters often had a partner to rely on. In Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, players will navigate this solitary journey, piecing together the means to escape the planet entirely on their own.
Despite being in development for four years, there has yet to be any hint of a release date. As enthusiasts, all we can do is eagerly await further updates and announcements from Naughty Dog about this highly anticipated game.
