The announcement of Neil Druckmann's latest game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has stirred a whirlwind of emotions among fans, and we've just received the first tantalizing details about its setting. Druckmann unveiled this information during his appearance on the Creator to Creator show.
The game is set in an alternate future that branches off from our reality in the late '80s. In this universe, a new religion emerges and eventually becomes the dominant force. Naughty Dog has dedicated several years to crafting the intricate lore of this religion, tracing its journey from the emergence of its first prophet to its subsequent evolutions and distortions.
This religion originates and spreads across a single planet, which over time becomes completely isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The protagonist of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet crash-lands on this very planet, finding herself in a desolate place where she is utterly alone. Survival becomes her primary challenge, and this theme of solitude is central to the game's narrative. Druckmann noted that, unlike previous Naughty Dog titles which often included a companion for the protagonist, this time players will have to navigate and solve the mysteries of the planet solo if they hope to escape.
Despite being in development for four years, there is still no word on a potential release date for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Fans will need to stay tuned for future announcements to learn more about this highly anticipated game.
