- Naughty Dog’s CEO says Intergalactic is in its final stretch of development.
- The studio plans to reveal gameplay and footage next year, and it features many recognizable actors.
- The game is inspired by many of Naughty Dog’s previous franchises, including The Last of Us and Jak and Daxter.
Naughty Dog has faced a lot of scrutiny for not releasing any mainline titles in the entirety of the PS5 generation. The studio’s next project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has seen a pretty volatile reception thus far, so interest in the game is definitely at an all-time high.
The company’s CEO, Neil Druckmann, has now revealed in a new interview that Intergalactic has entered the final stretch of development. The game is in its polishing stages to weed out all the remaining bugs ahead of its planned gameplay reveal next year.
Why it matters: Naughty Dog has been relatively quiet about its next big project since the reveal, as active development continues in full swing. Its first gameplay reveal could amplify fan anticipation and confidence in the studio or erode it instead.
Speaking in an interview with Revenge Of, Neil Druckmann clarifies that Naughty Dog is busy perfecting Intergalactic ahead of its gameplay reveal, which will ‘surprise a lot of people.’
The game features many big-name actors like Tati Gabrielle from the Uncharted movie and the Last of Us TV show, Tony Delton, and Kumail Nanjiani.
We’re kind of like at the last stage of production where we can play it and we’re refining it and polishing it, and I-I can’t wait to show it to the world.
-Naughty Dog CEO, Neil Druckmann.
Neil also mentions Intergalactic is inspired by many of Naughty Dog’s previous franchises, including Jak and Daxter, The Last of Us, and even Uncharted. It will feature the best elements from all of these IPs to create a unique blend of gameplay experience.
Intergalactic takes the sci-fi and fantasy elements from Jak and Daxter, pulp action-adventure from Uncharted, and more kind of serious drama from The Last of Us.
it really is a combination of those three franchises.
The game’s budget is rumored to cross $600 million, and credible insiders have listed its launch around the mid-2027 period.
