The gaming community has been buzzing since Neil Druckmann announced his latest project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Recently, Druckmann provided the first glimpse into the game's setting during an appearance on the Creator to Creator show.
The game unfolds in an alternate future, branching off from our reality in the late 1980s. Central to the narrative is the rise of a new religion within the Intergalactic universe, which eventually ascends to dominance. Naughty Dog has dedicated several years to crafting the intricate lore of this religion, from its inception with the first prophet to its subsequent evolutions and distortions.
This burgeoning religion originates and proliferates on a solitary planet, which later becomes isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The protagonist, who crash-lands on this secluded world, finds herself utterly alone. Survival in this desolate environment becomes a core theme of the game. Druckmann highlighted that, unlike previous Naughty Dog titles that typically included a companion for the player, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet challenges players to navigate and solve problems independently in order to escape the planet.
Despite being in development for four years, details about a potential release date remain undisclosed. Fans eagerly await further updates as they anticipate diving into this new and immersive universe crafted by Neil Druckmann and the Naughty Dog team.
