Is Naughty Dog Preparing the Biggest Game in PlayStation History? Insider Reveals Details of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

According to insider Detective Seeds, Naughty Dog is developing the most ambitious project in the studio’s history. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is a new original franchise that aims to be the largest title within PlayStation Studios.

Detective Seeds contacted a developer via LinkedIn and received several responses. The source claims the game is roughly twice the size of The Last of Us Part II — one of Sony’s priciest projects — and that Naughty Dog has been working on Intergalactic for several years, with the project’s scale growing substantially.

The insider says a 2027 release is the current target, but notes this is flexible — the team is not rushing. Localization has already begun and is following the same rollout used for The Last of Us Part II: some languages are actively in production while others remain queued. Open positions at Naughty Dog corroborate this activity.

RPG systems are said to be deeper, with player choices shaping the narrative’s course — the developers want to give players a richer, more immersive story experience. This marks a shift away from the primarily cinematic structure of the studio’s previous titles.

If these reports prove accurate, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet would rank among Naughty Dog’s largest and most non-linear undertakings to date.
