Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann has given a seemingly promising update on the studio's long-awaited Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and offered a fresh tease of what to expect.

PlayStation's upcoming, under-wraps space blockbuster remains largely a mystery, despite being revealed almost two years ago at The Game Awards in December 2024. We know only fragments of its story, and still have no idea when it will launch.

Speaking at the Comic Creators Block Party 2026, Druckmann said Intergalactic was now moving into its "last stages of production" and that the game was playable, with work now focusing on "refining and polishing." More intriguingly still, Druckmann described Intergalactic as an amalgamation of three other famous Naughty Dog franchises, with elements included from each.

"We used to have another game franchise called Jak and Daxter," Druckmann began. "And with this one, we really wanted to take everything we learned from that franchise, which is sci-fi fantasy, the action-adventure stuff we learned with Uncharted, the more kind of serious drama we got for The Last of Us, and it really is a combination of those three franchises.

"We wanted to expand our deep gameplay systems," he added. "Can we sustain the cinematic storytelling we're used to doing and go even deeper with gameplay systems?"

From the little that's been revealed of Intergalactic so far, we know that it will be an alternate universe sci-fi tale starring a bounty hunter stranded on a distant planet in the far future. This bounty hunter is Jordan A.
