Neil Druckmann's highly anticipated Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has finally revealed some details about its intriguing setting, unveiled during a recent appearance on the Creator to Creator show. The game plunges players into an alternate future diverging from our own timeline in the late 1980s. Central to this future is a new, dominant religion that has spread throughout the Intergalactic universe. Naughty Dog has dedicated years to crafting this religion's rich lore, meticulously detailing its origins from its first prophet to its subsequent evolution and corruption.
This religion's birthplace is a single, isolated planet, now completely severed from the rest of the galaxy. It’s on this very planet that the protagonist crash-lands, finding herself utterly alone and facing the daunting challenge of survival. This solitary struggle forms a core theme of the game. Unlike previous Naughty Dog titles where players often relied on companions, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet emphasizes self-reliance and independent problem-solving as the protagonist fights for escape.
Despite four years of development, a release date remains elusive. For now, fans eagerly await further announcements.
