Naughty Dog’s PlayStation 5 exclusive Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet preliminarily targets 2027 for launch, according to a report from the X (formerly Twitter) user under the nickname Detective Seeds.
According to the post dated Nov. 24, 2025, Detective Seeds reached out to a Naughty Dog contact through LinkedIn and was lucky to get answers to some of his questions. Besides the preliminary release window, which was called by Naughty Dog “a fluid target at the moment,” he also found out that the game will be two times larger in scope than The Last of Us Part II.
The report also claimed that the upcoming title will feature deeper RPG elements, where decisions will impact parts of the game, as Naughty Dog aims to deliver deeper immersion in the story to the players.
Besides that, Detective Seeds mentioned that the localization completion timeframe was on par with The Last of Us Part II and had begun in most languages, but some had not started yet.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is set around 2,000 years in the future, in an alternate universe where advanced space travel existed by 1986. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will follow veteran bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun, who is stranded on a remote planet, Sempiria, while tracking the Five Aces criminal syndicate.
The title’s development began in 2020 after the release of The Last of Us Part II and is led by creative director Neil Druckmann, game directors Matthew Gallant and Kurt Margenau, and narrative director Claire Carré.
