Neil Druckmann Says Intergalactic Blends Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, and The Last of Us

Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann provided a new update on the studio's upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, during the Comic Creators Block Party 2026. He said the game has entered its "last stages of production" and is currently playable, with the team concentrating on "refining and polishing."

Druckmann also described Intergalactic as a combination of elements from three of Naughty Dog's past franchises. He explained that the game draws from the sci-fi fantasy of Jak and Daxter, the action-adventure style of Uncharted, and the serious drama of The Last of Us. He added that the studio wanted to see if it could maintain its signature cinematic storytelling while deepening its gameplay systems.

First revealed at The Game Awards in December 2024, Intergalactic remains largely under wraps. The game follows Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter played by Tati Gabrielle, who becomes stranded on a distant planet in an alternate universe. The cast includes Tony Dalton, Kumail Nanjiani, Ashley Scott, and Naughty Dog veteran Troy Baker. Druckmann recently indicated that the game would receive a full unveiling within the next 12 months.

Naughty Dog's last all-new release was The Last of Us Part 2 in 2020. Since then, the studio has released remasters and canceled a multiplayer The Last of Us project. Intergalactic is one of several games in development at the studio, with fans widely believing a new Uncharted title is also in the works.
