The Last of Us Director Neil Druckmann Wants Naughty Dog's New Game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet to Make You Feel 'Really Lost and Confused'

Author : Christian Mar 16,2025

Neil Druckmann, director of The Last of Us, has offered new insights into Naughty Dog's upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. In a conversation with Alex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later, Druckmann revealed the game has been in development for four years. He candidly addressed the polarizing reception of The Last of Us Part II, jokingly suggesting Intergalactic tackles a less controversial theme: faith and religion.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, starring Jordan A. Mun as Tati Gabrielle, unfolds in an alternate history featuring a prominent, yet evolved and distorted religion. The game centers on Jordan's character attempting to become the first person in centuries to leave the planet where this religion is dominant.

Druckmann hinted at the game's narrative: "This religion exists on a single planet, and then all communication ceases," he teased. "You play a bounty hunter pursuing your target, who crash-lands on this planet. Unlike our previous games, you're utterly alone, lost and confused. To escape—a feat no one has accomplished in 600 years—you must unravel the planet's mysteries."
