A new rumor suggests that Naughty Dog's upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, is currently targeting a 2027 release window. The unconfirmed information comes from industry leaker NateTheHate2, who recently shared the update regarding the much-anticipated project.
While official marketing for the title has been sparse, speculation regarding a potential release next year has circulated for some time, bolstered by previous reports indicating internal efforts to keep production on track. Sony's typical marketing strategy often focuses on one or two major titles at a time, leaving room for a potential official showcase later in the year during an upcoming State of Play broadcast or at The Game Awards in December.
Source Reliability
This rumor carries an estimated confidence rating of 80/100 based on a single established source. NateTheHate2 has previously broken accurate industry secrets, including Nintendo's Ocarina of Time remake. However, until Sony or Naughty Dog officially confirms the release timeline, this information remains unconfirmed.
Platform Context for PlayStation 5
A 2027 release window would place Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet alongside other confirmed titles for the platform, such as Until Dawn 2 and God of War Laufey, which is scheduled for 16th February 2027. PlayStation generations have historically concluded with strong late-generation releases, much like the final years of the PlayStation 4 saw the launches of The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima.
