Neil Druckmann, director of The Last of Us, has offered new insights into Naughty Dog's upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. In a conversation with Alex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later, Druckmann revealed the game has been in development for four years. He candidly discussed the team's previous experiences with The Last of Us Part II, acknowledging the polarized reactions it received, and jokingly explaining that Intergalactic shifts focus to themes of faith and religion.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, starring Jordan A. Mun as Tati Gabrielle, unfolds in an alternate history featuring a prominent, yet evolved and distorted religion. The game centers on Jordan's character, who must use her skills to become the first person in centuries to escape the planet where this religion is central.

Druckmann hinted at the game's narrative: "This religion exists on a single planet, and then all communication ceases. You play a bounty hunter pursuing your target, who crash-lands on this planet. Unlike our previous games, you're entirely alone, lost and confused about the planet's history and inhabitants. Escaping—a feat no one has accomplished in 600 years—requires unraveling the planet's mysteries."
