Sony is letting the likes of Saros, Marvel’s Wolverine, and Marvel Tokon headline its 2026 output on PS5, and is leaving the next Naughty Dog game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, until 2027, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier claims.
Earlier this weekend, rumours of Intergalactic appearing at The Game Awards next month did the rounds on the back of comments from Sacred Symbols host Colin Moriarty.
He said that what he has been hearing from those on the inside of the project suggests the PS5 title is already content complete and could release next year.

The claims made their way to Reddit, and Jason Schreier has quickly shut them down, stating: “Can assure you that Intergalactic is not coming out in 2026.” He then refutes the idea that Intergalactic is further into development than expected, suggesting Naughty Dog still has a long way to go on production.
Further to this, Giant Bomb member Jeff Grubb posted on social media: “It will not be shown at The Game Awards,” in response to a tweet claiming it will be.

It’s true Naughty Dog has been on a hiring spree as of late, but this does not necessarily suggest the project is close to launch — even if the positions are about cleaning up and improving final content for the game.
Schreier adds in a later post: “I can assure you that Intergalactic isn’t coming out in 2026 because people familiar with the game’s development timeline have told me that it is not coming out in 2026.”
Of course, the suggestion of a release in 2027 opens Intergalactic up to launching in the same year as the PS6, as rumours have tagged the next-gen console with a release then. It wouldn’t be the first time Naughty Dog has done such a thing. The Last of Us released for PS3 the same year the PS4 came out, and it did the same thing for The Last of Us 2, just prior to the PS5’s launch.
