Neil Druckmann's highly anticipated game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, finally unveils some details about its intriguing setting, revealed on the Creator to Creator show. The game takes place in an alternate future diverging from our own timeline in the late 1980s. Central to the narrative is a new religion that emerges and dominates the Intergalactic universe. Naughty Dog has invested years crafting this religion's rich lore, meticulously detailing its origins with its first prophet, and charting its subsequent evolution and distortions.
This religion's birthplace and initial expansion are confined to a single planet, which eventually becomes completely isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The game's protagonist crash-lands onto this very isolated planet, finding herself utterly alone and facing the challenge of survival. This solitary struggle forms a core theme of the project, a stark contrast to previous Naughty Dog titles where players often relied on companions. In Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, the player must navigate this alien world and solve its mysteries entirely independently to achieve escape.
Despite four years of development, a release date for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet remains unannounced. Fans will have to patiently await further updates.
