It’s been a while since we’ve last had a new original game from Naughty Dog, with their most recent release being The Last of Us Part II back in 2020. When they do return however, it’ll be in a pretty major way, having previously announced and teased their brand new IP ‘Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’. While we have yet to get a concrete release date, insiders have now claimed that the project is planned to arrive sometime next year in 2027.
Following the recent confirmation that God of War Laufey will launch in February of 2027, fans have started to wonder what this means for Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Taking to Twitter, one user asked known industry insider / leaker NateTheHate whether they had any updates on the current status of Naughty Dog’s next game, writing: “Now that we have confirmation for Laufey release date. Is Intergalactic supposed to release next year or 2028?”
In response, Nate claimed that “2027 is the intended target” – though no further details were offered.
As mentioned, Naughty Dog hasn't released a new original game since The Last of Us Part II back in 2020. That’s not for lack of trying however, with the team having spent years working on a live-service TLOU project (known as The Last of Us Online) prior to its cancellation. In addition, the team also developed a full-on remake of 2013’s The Last of Us – launching on PS5 and later PC in 2022 / 2023 respectively.
Regardless, following what has been a somewhat quiet 2026 for first-party PlayStation releases (Saros and the upcoming Wolverine + Marvel Tokon aside), 2027 looks set to be a big year for Sony and the PS5. Hopefully we get a gameplay trailer for Intergalactic sooner rather than later.
KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet? How different do you think it’ll be compared to the studio’s other games? What’s been the best year for PS5 exclusives so far? Let us know down below.
