The announcement of Neil Druckmann's latest game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has sparked 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.

Set in an alternate future that branches off from our own timeline in the late '80s, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet introduces a universe where a new religion emerges and eventually becomes the dominant force. Naughty Dog has dedicated several years to crafting the intricate lore of this religion, detailing 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 isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The protagonist of the game crash-lands on this very planet, finding herself in a desolate place where she is the sole inhabitant. Survival becomes her central challenge, as she navigates this new world alone. Druckmann highlighted that, unlike previous Naughty Dog games which often included a companion for the player, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet focuses on the protagonist's solitary journey. Players must rely on their own wits to survive and find a way off the planet.

Despite being in development for four years, there is still no hint of a release date for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Fans will need to stay tuned for future announcements to learn more about when they can dive into this intriguing new world crafted by Neil Druckmann and the team at Naughty Dog.
