Naughty Dog Sets 2027 Full Reveal for Intergalactic and Teases New Last of Us Projects
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Naughty Dog has confirmed a full reveal for its sci-fi adventure Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet in 2027, alongside two early-stage projects expanding The Last of Us universe.
During the annual community updates, Naughty Dog studio head Neil Druckmann shared a roadmap for the studio that gives fans plenty to look forward to across both new sci-fi frontiers and familiar post-apocalyptic territory. According to a post on the official Naughty Dog blog covered by IGN South Africa, the studio plans to fully showcase its ambitious new sci-fi project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, sometime in 2027. While that means fans will have to exercise a bit more patience following its notable absence at recent platform showcases, Druckmann promised a proper look at Jordan's adventure when the time is right.
Alongside the sci-fi update, Druckmann confirmed that the studio is actively working on two separate new projects within The Last of Us universe. While details are scarce because both titles are still in early development, he stressed that these stories will expand the established canon beyond the events of Part I and Part II. For a community that treats these narrative worlds as long term social and cultural touchstones, the confirmation that the studio has meaningful new things to say in this universe is a welcome signal.
Druckmann also acknowledged the community directly, thanking supporters for raising funds for AbleGamers and asking for continued patience as the team cooks its next generation of games. As AAA development cycles stretch longer and player expectations shift toward persistent engagement and massive scope, Naughty Dog is betting that taking extra time will pay off. When 2027 rolls around, the industry will finally get a clear picture of whether this ambition translates into the groundbreaking experience players expect from the studio.
