The gaming community has been buzzing with excitement and curiosity since Neil Druckmann announced his latest project, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*. Recently, Druckmann provided the first glimpse into the game's setting during his appearance on the Creator to Creator show.
*Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet* is set in an alternate future, branching off from our timeline in the late 1980s. The game's narrative revolves around the rise of a new, dominant religion within the Intergalactic universe. Naughty Dog has meticulously crafted the lore of this religion over several years, detailing its evolution from its founding prophet to its subsequent shifts and distortions.
This new religion originates and spreads on a single, isolated planet, which becomes completely severed from the rest of the galaxy. The protagonist of the game crash-lands on this enigmatic planet, finding herself utterly alone. Survival becomes her primary challenge, emphasizing one of the game's core themes. Unlike previous Naughty Dog titles that often included a companion for the player, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet* will require players to navigate and solve the mysteries of the planet solo, enhancing the sense of isolation and self-reliance.
Despite being in development for four years, there has been no mention of a release date yet. Fans of Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann will need to stay tuned for further updates on this intriguing new title.
