Naughty Dog's Intergalactic enters final production phase, blends past series
Neill Druckmann says Intergalactic combines elements from Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, and The Last of Us as it nears completion.
Naughty Dog studio head Neill Druckmann revealed that the studio's upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, is now in its final stages of production. Speaking on the Comic Creators Block Party 2026 podcast with Patton Oswalt, Druckmann said the team can play the game and is currently refining and polishing it.
Druckmann described Intergalactic as a combination of lessons learned from three of Naughty Dog's major franchises. He cited the sci-fi fantasy of Jak and Daxter, the action-adventure gameplay from Uncharted, and the serious drama of The Last of Us as influences. The studio also aimed to deepen its gameplay systems while maintaining its signature cinematic storytelling.
The game was first revealed with a trailer at The Game Awards 2024, which introduced protagonist Jordan A Mun and established a far-future setting. Since then, little additional footage or information has been shared publicly. Druckmann's comments may suggest a new trailer or more details could be forthcoming as development wraps up.
