Intergalactic: A Cosmic Comedy of Delays
Hold onto those game controllers, folks! Naughty Dog’s upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has decided it’s too cool for The Game Awards this year and has no plans to grace players’ consoles anytime soon. Cue the dramatic gasp!
So, what’s the scoop? Well, it turns out, a bunch of journalists got together—perhaps over a very strong cup of coffee—and decided to share the hot gossip about this PlayStation 5 exclusive. Everyone’s favorite scribe from Giant Bomb, Jeff Grubb, let slip on social media that not only will Intergalactic be taking a timeout from the Awards in 2025, it also seems like 2026 is off the table. Thanks for the heads up, Jeff! The rumor mill is working overtime!
Time Flies Faster Than Game Development
If the intel turns out to be spot-on, Naughty Dog might just achieve a remarkable feat: going through an entire console generation without unleashing a brand-new game. So far, the world has seen nothing but remastered versions of The Last of Us on the PlayStation 5. Sure, remasters are great—until it feels like a high school reunion where no one has aged a day.
The suspense continues to build around Naughty Dog’s newest brainchild, especially considering the PS6 is expected to launch in 2027 or whenever the stars align. Buckle up for a thrilling ride, folks—if you’re still holding onto that ancient PS5 by then!
The Plot Thickens—Or Is It Just Space Soup?
As for the game itself, Intergalactic takes players on a sci-fi rollercoaster, where protagonist Jordan A. Mun (played by the talented Tati Gabrielle) finds herself as a bounty hunter marooned on the desolate planet of Sempiria. Apparently, this lovely vacation spot hasn’t communicated with the rest of the universe for years. Just what every stranded person wants—a radio that’s permanently stuck on “mute.”
Neil Druckmann, the brain behind this cosmic adventure, shared that while The Last of Us delves into the depths of grief and sorrow, Intergalactic takes a cosmic leap into exploring faith and religion. Sounds like a walk in the park—if that park were in a galaxy far, far away.
Tati Gabrielle chimed in during an interview, providing profound insight: “The question of faith is not black and white.” In a world where players question their life choices while gaming, this sentiment strikes a chord. “Faith can mean many things—whether in a higher power or just faith that your Wi-Fi will hold out during a crucial boss battle.” Well said!
So, what are beliefs and hopes all about? It’s the kind of introspection gamers don’t often indulge in, especially after marathon gaming sessions. Still, there’s plenty of faith to consider—whether it’s awaiting the next installment of a favorite franchise or just hoping the fridge isn’t empty during a gaming night.
With all these twists and turns, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet promises to keep everyone guessing. Who knows when players will finally meet Jordan A. Mun? A lot can happen between now and then, including the entire universe collapsing—a perfect time for a delay!
