The announcement of Neil Druckmann's latest game, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, sparked a wide range of emotions among fans, and it's only now that we've received the first details about its setting. Druckmann shared this exciting information during his appearance on the *Creator to Creator* show.
The game is set in an alternate future that diverges from our reality starting in the late ‘80s. In the *Intergalactic* universe, a new religion emerges and eventually becomes the dominant force. Naughty Dog has meticulously crafted the lore of this religion over several years, detailing its journey from the emergence of its first prophet to its subsequent transformations and distortions.
This new religion originates on a single planet and spreads across it, leading to the planet becoming completely isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The story follows the protagonist who crash-lands on this very planet. She finds herself in a desolate place, completely alone, and must now navigate survival without any help. This theme of solitude is central to the game. Druckmann emphasized that, unlike previous Naughty Dog titles which often included a companion for interaction, in *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, players will need to figure everything out on their own to have any chance of escaping the planet.
Despite being in development for four years, there is still no indication of a potential release date for *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*. Fans will need to stay tuned for future announcements to learn more about this intriguing new title from Naughty Dog.
