- Intergalactic: The Heretical Prophet reportedly won’t launch until 2026 and is still years away
- Several journalists have said that the game will not be at The Game Awards
- Naughty Dog’s new title has the potential to be a PS6 launch title
Sources claim Naughty Dog’s next game, Intergalactic: The Heretical Prophetnot coming out in 2026 and still years away.
Intergalactic: The Heretical Prophet was announced during The Game Awards last year; however, according to several journalists, the new game from the studio that gave us The last of us and Uncharted will not be at the ceremony this year.
In response to some speculation, later clarified by journalist Colin Moriarty, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb said, “It won’t be shown at The Game Awards,” adding that people have confirmed to him that the game “won’t be out in 2026 either.”
Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier also confirmed Grubb’s claims on Reddit, saying, “Can assure you that Intergalactic not coming out in 2026,” which was what he claimed back in March.
With rumors circulating that the PlayStation 6 will be released sometime between late 2027 and early 2028, now several journalists are saying that Intergalactic not coming in 2026, the game has the potential to be a PS6 launch title.
If this is the case, Naughty Dog’s next game could skip the PS5 altogether or at least launch on the PS5 alongside the PS6. Either way, it would be an odd choice considering the studio has yet to release an original title for the current generation that hasn’t been a remaster of The last of us or The Last of Us: Part 2.
When Intergalactic was revealed last year, we were treated to an extended cinematic showing of Tati Gabrielle as the protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, in a sci-fi world set thousands of years in the future.
Game Director Neil Druckmann shared more about Intergalactic earlier this year, saying that the game is “a game about faith and religion” and that it is now being played by the development team.
