Naughty Dog’s New IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Reportedly Releasing Next Year

One of the games that don’t have their release dates yet is Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The game was announced at Game Awards 2024 with an exciting reveal trailer, and we haven’t heard much about the game since then. Naughty Dog is seemingly working hard on the project and not ready to share the new information.

We already know that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will be approximately twice as big as The Last of Us: Part 2 and feature some RPG elements, with 2027 rumored to be a potential year for release. At this time, PlayStation insider TCMFGames confirms Naughty Dog is looking to launch their upcoming title next year on PlayStation 5, with a further upgrade to PlayStation 6 later that will show a much better graphical side.

• It’s set reportedly launch next year on PS5
• It’s very likely that we’re also going to get a PS6 upgrade
• The PS6 reportedly set to launch late 2027 so a PS6 version is likely on the way
• Lighting could be a big part of Intergalactic and Pathtracing on PS6 could bring a solid visual enhancement

The story details of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet are currently unknown, but Tony Dalton, who does make an appearance in the game, previously described his experience as “nothing I've ever done in my life.” Speaking of the game’s cast, it also includes Troy Baker, Kumail Nanjiani, Stephen A. Chang, Ashley Scott, Halley Wegryn Gross, and Tati Gabrielle, who gave her appearance to the main character—Jordan A. Mun. It is also rumored that Merle Dandridge, who previously worked in other Naughty Dog projects and is specifically known for the Marlene role in The Last of Us, will also be in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
