Naughty Dog’s next game is getting closer. Neil Druckmann said that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is in its “last stage of production”, where the game can be played and the team is refining and polishing it, and that he can’t wait to show it to the world, Video Games Chronicle reported on November 12, 2026.
Where he said it
Druckmann spoke at Comic Creators Block Party 2026, a YouTube event hosted by Patton Oswalt. He explained that the studio has only teased the game so far, so he could not say much more.
What kind of game it is
He described it as Naughty Dog’s move into science fiction, drawing on three of its series:
- Jak and Daxter, for its mix of science fiction and fantasy
- Uncharted, for its pulp action-adventure
- The Last of Us, for its serious drama
He said the team wanted to expand its gameplay systems while keeping its cinematic storytelling.
When we will see more
In September, Druckmann confirmed that Naughty Dog will fully reveal the game in 2027, and said the team was “heads down” on what he called the studio’s most ambitious game yet, staying quiet for the rest of 2026. There is still no release date or list of platforms.
