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 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, meticulously detailing its origins with its first prophet, and tracing its evolution through various transformations 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. It's on this isolated world that the protagonist crash-lands, finding herself utterly alone and facing the crucial challenge of survival. This solitary struggle forms a core theme of the game, a stark contrast to previous Naughty Dog titles where companionship was a significant element. In Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, players must navigate this alien world and solve its mysteries entirely on their own—if they hope to escape.
Despite four years of development, a release date remains unannounced. For now, fans eagerly await further updates.
