Naughty Dog's Intergalactic Is Polishing In 'Final Stage', Promises 2027 Reveal

Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann says the studio's mysterious sci-fi game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, is now in its final production stages. Per IGN, he told an audience at Comic Creators Block Party 2026 that the game is fully playable, with the team focused on refining and polishing it.

Druckmann also offered a fresh description of the project's DNA. He called it a mash-up of three core Naughty Dog franchises, blending the sci-fi fantasy of Jak and Daxter, the action-adventure of Uncharted, and the serious drama of The Last of Us. He said the studio wanted to expand its deep gameplay systems while sustaining its cinematic storytelling.

GameSpot adds that the game's visual influences go beyond '80s sci-fi movies. The outlet reports the project's look and feel was also shaped by a genre-defining anime film, though it did not specify which one.

The game stars Tati Gabrielle as bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun, stranded on a distant planet. Her bounty targets are played by Tony Dalton, Kumail Nanjiani, and Ashley Scott, with Naughty Dog regular Troy Baker also appearing.

While there's still no official release date, VGC reports Druckmann has promised a full reveal will happen next year. Push Square notes he believes the game will "surprise people" when it's finally shown.
