The announcement of Neil Druckmann's latest game, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, stirred a whirlwind of emotions among fans, and only recently have we been given a glimpse into its intriguing setting. Druckmann unveiled these details on the *Creator to Creator* show, shedding light on what promises to be a unique gaming experience.
Set in an alternate future that branches off from our timeline in the late '80s, *Intergalactic* introduces a universe where a new religion emerges and quickly becomes the dominant force. Naughty Dog dedicated several years to crafting the rich lore of this religion, tracing its journey from the emergence of its first prophet to its subsequent evolutions and distortions.
This new religion originates and proliferates on a solitary planet, which eventually becomes isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The narrative centers around the protagonist, who crash-lands on this very planet. She finds herself in an eerily deserted environment, with no one else around, setting the stage for a survival-centric theme. According to Druckmann, unlike previous Naughty Dog titles where players often had a companion for guidance, in *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, players will need to navigate and solve challenges independently to escape the planet.
Despite being in development for four years, details regarding a potential release date remain undisclosed. As eager fans, all we can do is keep an eye out for future updates and announcements from Naughty Dog.
