π° What Happened
Naughty Dog confirmed in a social media post that its next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has finished shooting its performance capture - all story content has now been captured by the actors. The announcement landed on Monday ahead of a Sony State of Play showcase and signals the game is entering its final production stages.
π The Backstory
Intergalactic, revealed at the Game Awards in December 2024, stars Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter stranded on the distant planet Sempiria, and is Naughty Dog's first new franchise in years; Troy Baker, Merle Dandridge and Jeffrey Pierce are attached in undisclosed roles. The studio's track record - The Last of Us Part 2 wrapped mo-cap about a year before release - has fans pencilling in a 2027 launch.
π― Why It Matters
Wrapping performance capture is one of the clearest signals yet that the PS5 exclusive is nearing completion, letting fans narrow the release window. As one of PlayStation's flagship upcoming titles, its progress matters enormously to the console's 2027 lineup.
