Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet remains in development for PS5, with its cinematic shoot wrapped. Its next showing is expected at the September 3 State of Play, after no new footage since the game's December 2024 reveal.
Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is Naughty Dog's new sci-fi game and its first fully new title in some time. It is set thousands of years in the future, where bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun explores the planet Sempiria, a world that has been out of contact for hundreds of years. The game is in development for PS5.
On September 1, Naughty Dog said the cinematic shoot had wrapped, posting the news on its official X account with a photo of actress Tati Gabrielle holding a gun model and the sign-off line "See you, space cowboy...". The timing, two days before State of Play and State of Play Japan on September 3, has raised expectations that the game will appear at the broadcast, with no new footage shown since December 2024.
The September 3 event follows a June 3 State of Play that ran over 60 minutes and included new footage of Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine, set for PS5 on September 15. Coverage at the time noted that the June broadcast might also include updates on titles from the February 13 broadcast, including Intergalactic.
Neil Druckmann later said the team is pouring its effort into the game and called it Naughty Dog's most ambitious work, adding that the full picture will be revealed in 2027 and that there will be no major announcements during 2026. He also confirmed that two new The Last of Us projects are in very early stages.
