Neil Druckmann (The Last of Us) and Alex Garland (28 Years Later) appeared on the Creator to Creator show, where Druckmann revealed fresh details about his next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Intergalactic has been in development for four years;
The story takes place 2,000 years in the future in an alternate version of reality that started diverging from our timeline in the late 1980s;
Druckmann noted that The Last of Us: Part 2 received so much backlash that Naughty Dog decided to make a game about less controversial topics—faith and religion;
The game’s world features a new religion that emerged on the planet Sempiria. According to Druckmann, the team spent years developing its lore;
The protagonist crash-lands on Sempiria, a planet that lost all contact with the rest of the universe 600 years before the game’s events. No one knows what has happened there since;
Loneliness will be a central theme. Unlike previous Naughty Dog games, where protagonists often traveled with companions, this time, the player will have to navigate the world alone.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet does not yet have a release date but is confirmed for PlayStation 5.
