Neil Druckmann's highly anticipated Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has finally revealed some details about its intriguing setting, unveiled 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 emerges within the Intergalactic universe. Naughty Dog has invested years crafting the rich lore of this religion, from its origins with its first prophet to its subsequent evolution and eventual distortions.

This religion's birthplace and initial spread are confined to a single planet, which eventually becomes completely isolated from the rest of the galaxy. It's on this very isolated planet that the protagonist crash-lands, finding herself utterly alone and facing the 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, forcing players to navigate the challenges and mysteries of the planet alone if they hope to escape.

Despite four years of development, a release date for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet remains unannounced. For now, fans eagerly await further updates.
