We first saw the action-adventure game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet at The Game Awards ceremony in December 2024 . Even before the official announcement, many rumors about the title were circulating, spread by journalist Ben Hanson, among others.
He announced in October 2024 on the MinnMax channel on YouTube that the employees of Naughty Dog studio (devs of Intergalactic) like to compare the then-unrevealed game to a certain excellent title in terms of the freedom offered to the player. However, the insider didn’t reveal what title it was about.
I heard from somebody very in the know who worked on the game that they’re like Jesus Christ… the tone was like you are all not ready for how amazing this is going to be… and the tone was (I’m not going to say the game that they referenced to compare it)… but they compared to a game with a lot of player freedom.
After some time, Hanson finally unveiled the exact game he’d been thinking about – it turned out to be Elden Ring. He made this revelation in a recent podcast broadcasted on the same channel.
It’s acceptable to say now that the game was Elden Ring, which was compared to it back then. If I had said “Naughty Dog’s next game is like Elden Ring” and then the reveal trailer came out, I think we would have been really excited.
For context, let’s add that the first trailer for Intergalactic wasn’t well received by the community. It got many negative opinions from players, so any earlier comparisons to Elden Ring might further worsen the terrible reception.
As a gamer, it feels like I’ll have the same level of autonomy in “Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet” as I do in games developed by FromSoftware studio. Besides that, this upcoming game seems to emphasize solitude and religious undertones, similar to what we saw in The Last of Us.
So far, we haven’t learned the release date of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The title will be released exclusively on PlayStation 5, although it is possible that, like other new Sony games, it will also hit PC some time after its launch.
