Sony Interactive Entertainment and Naughty Dog’s upcoming action-adventure game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, will reportedly make an appearance at The Game Awards 2025.
During an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, Last Stand Media co-founder Colin Moriarty dropped some hints regarding the development status of Naughty Dog’s upcoming action-adventure game. According to him, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is now “content complete” and is set for a reveal at The Game Awards 2025.
Based on recent studio hiring patterns and information Moriarty says he’s heard from people “interacting with the game,” he believes the team at Naughty Dog is entering the final production phase of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’s development. He explained that active recruitment for localization roles is often a sign that major content is locked in. As he put it, everything is “kind of locked down and, you know, content complete.”
Moriarty also said that not only is the game nearing its end stages, but fans won’t have to wait long to see it in action. “I believe we’ll see it at The Game Awards this year,” he said, adding that Naughty Dog has “a lot of confidence that like when people see the game, they’re gonna be like, ‘Okay.'”
Beyond development progress, Moriarty also talked about the divisive reception surrounding Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet since its initial reveal. He argued that much of the hostility stems from factors unrelated to the actual game, ranging from lingering resentment over The Last of Us Part II to political and demographic biases, particularly regarding the studio’s choice of the upcoming title’s protagonist. However, he remained certain that “it’s going to be great” and that doubters are “going to be in for a rude awakening.”
The recent job listings from Naughty Dog that Moriarty mentioned include three Associate QA Testers and Language Development Support personnel who were to bug test and work with German, Italian, and Japanese localization teams for Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet. Read about it here.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is set for release exclusively for PlayStation 5.
