Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet developer Naughty Dog has been largely radio silent about its upcoming sci-fi game since it was first revealed in 2024, but it looks like 2027 will bring a lot more information.

Speaking to Patton Oswalt during the Comic Creators Block Party 2026, director Neil Druckmann teased that the game is entering its "final stage" of production. "We've only teased it, so I can't talk too much about it," Druckmann said. "But we're kind of like at the last stages of production, where we can play it, and we're refining and polishing it, and I can't wait to show it to the world."

Druckmann also said that after 20 years of relatively grounded games set on Earth, Intergalactic represented an opportunity for the studio to combine everything it learned from its biggest franchises into an experience that blends "cinematic" storytelling with deep gameplay.

"Something we've been really hungry for is to go sci-fi. We used to have another game franchise, called Jak and Daxter. We wanted to take everything we learned from that franchise--which is sci-fi, fantasy, the kind of pulp-action adventure stuff we learned with Uncharted, the kind of serious drama we got from The Last of Us. It really is a combination of those three franchises, and we really wanted to expand our deep gameplay systems. Like, can we sustain the kind of cinematic storytelling we're used to doing, and go even deeper with gameplay systems?"

So when will we actually get to see the game in action?
