Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet draws from a familiar corner of Naughty Dog’s history. Neil Druckmann described the studio’s next game as a combination of Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, and The Last of Us.

During a Nov. 7, 2026, livestream conversation with Patton Oswalt at the Revenge of Comic Creators block party, Druckmann said Naughty Dog had wanted to return to science fiction, which it last explored with Jak and Daxter. He described Uncharted and The Last of Us as relatively grounded stories set on Earth.

Druckmann framed Intergalactic as combining the sci-fi fantasy and pulp adventure of Jak and Daxter, the action-adventure of Uncharted, and the serious drama of The Last of Us. Naughty Dog also wants to deepen its gameplay systems while retaining its cinematic storytelling.

Druckmann said the studio plans to show gameplay and more of the story in 2027, and suggested the presentation could surprise people about what they think the game is. He called its cast large. Tati Gabrielle plays protagonist Jordan A. Mun, and Druckmann named Tony Dalton and Kumail Nanjiani among the cast. Some cast members may be revealed next year, while others will be left for players to discover in the game.

Naughty Dog’s 2024 reveal introduced Jordan A. Mun as a bounty hunter stranded on Sempiria, a planet whose communication with the outside universe had gone dark hundreds of years earlier. On Aug. 31, the studio said shooting the game’s cinematic scenes had finished. No release date has been announced.

Anime is another source of inspiration. Druckmann pointed to Akira and Evangelion for their visual styles and their approaches to storytelling and philosophy.

Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.
