Intergalactic PS5 Nears Completion, Gameplay Reveal Planned for 2027

Naughty Dog's upcoming sci-fi game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is in the "last stage of production," according to studio director Neil Druckmann. Speaking at the Comic Creators Block Party 2026 live show, Druckmann said the team can now play the game and is focused on refinement and polish. He expressed eagerness to show it to the public.

Druckmann confirmed that Sony and Naughty Dog plan to "show a lot of it next year," including gameplay and more story details. Whether Intergalactic will actually launch in 2027 remains unclear, but a significant reveal is expected. He added that he believes the game will "really surprise people" in terms of what it actually is versus what they expect.

The director noted that Naughty Dog has been making "relatively grounded" games like Uncharted and The Last of Us for a long time. Intergalactic allows the studio to explore a more fantastical setting. He said the team has "been really hungry for" a return to sci-fi, referencing the studio's earlier Jak & Daxter series.

Druckmann described Intergalactic as a combination of the pulp action-adventure from Uncharted, the serious drama of The Last of Us, and the sci-fi fantasy of Jak & Daxter. He also said the goal is to merge Naughty Dog's cinematic storytelling with "deeper gameplay systems" in this new title.
