Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the new upcoming game
Naughty Dog Studio is highly regarded as one of Sony’s most valuable first-party studios, which has delivered many critically acclaimed titles like The Last of Us 1 & 2, the Uncharted franchise and more.
However, now, according to a pretty well-known insider and journalist, Jason Schreier, it appears that Sony is not happy with the studio due to the lack of brand-new game releases during the PlayStation 5 generation.
Since the launch of The Last of Us Part II in 2020, the studio has mainly focused on remasters, remakes and the ongoing development of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Let’s check out some more details in this article.
Concerned about the development pace of Naughty Dog studio
The discussion started with an industry blog post by writer Jason Schreier, in reference to Sony’s own studios for production and their long timelines.
Schreier admits that Sony is worried about Naughty Dog‘s state, and that is the time and resources they’ve put into the studio without a game being released.
This situation can be said to highlight a major trend across the gaming industry. Modern AAA titles and games are becoming too large and require a lot more years and budget to develop.
As a result, the development of this game can easily stretch from 4-5 years and may even go beyond these as well.
Naughty Dog studio’s current project
Currently, the studio is working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is a brand-new sci-fi fiction IP that was first revealed at The Game Awards 2024.
Since the announcement, we have yet to see anything related to this game. There is also no release timeline and according to several reports, this game might still be a few years away from release.
If those reports and estimates are true, then this game might launch at the end of the PlayStation 5 cycle.
Conclusion
Despite everything, the fans and gamers are pretty excited for the upcoming title from the Naughty Dog studio. The fans know that this studio always delivers a quality game.
It would be pretty interesting to see when the studio will reveal the next footage or information about the game. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is going to be an exclusive game for PS5.
