According to a new report from renowned gaming journalist Jason Schreier, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will not be released for several more years.
Announced at The Game Awards 2024, this game is one of the most anticipated titles for the coming years. However, according to new information, players shouldn’t expect this title to launch before 2027.
About the Game
Intergalactic is an action-adventure game set in a science fiction world, created by a talented team known for famous titles like The Last of Us and Uncharted. The game’s story centers around a bounty hunter trapped on a distant planet in a parallel universe who must find a way to survive and escape.
Naughty Dog’s Ambitious Project
This is Naughty Dog’s first project since releasing The Last of Us Part II in 2020. Given the studio’s outstanding track record, Intergalactic is expected to be highly detailed and ambitious.
Jason Schreier’s Insight
According to Jason Schreier’s comments on the ResetEra forum, fans should not expect the game to release in 2025 or 2026. Responding to a user, Schreier said:
“I’m pretty sure I mentioned these were just early announcements. None of these games will be released next year.”
Impact on Fans and Expectations
This news might disappoint Naughty Dog fans, but delays typically allow developers more time to optimize and enhance game quality. Additionally, since the first trailer contained no actual gameplay footage, it was clear from the start that the game was still far from completion.
Possible Console Generation Shift
If Intergalactic releases in 2027, it could potentially be one of the last major games for PlayStation 5. There’s also a possibility that the game could launch as a PlayStation 6 title.
Awaiting Official Updates
For now, players must wait for more official updates from Naughty Dog to get detailed insights into the game’s development process and exact release date. Fans are eagerly awaiting additional trailers, gameplay reveals, and behind-the-scenes updates that Naughty Dog will hopefully share in the coming years.
