One of the Biggest Games Announced at Last Year’s Game Awards May Be a No-Show in 2025
According to industry insider Jeff Grubb, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet may be absent from this year’s Game Awards. As Naughty Dog’s next big project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was one of the biggest reveals of last year’s ceremony, but gamers hoping for an update during this year’s broadcast may want to keep their expectations in check.
Recently, those eager for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet got some good news, as reports suggested Naughty Dog was hiring localization employees, implying that the game was in its final stages of development. There have been predictions that Naughty Dog’s space adventure could launch sometime in 2027, but this has yet to be confirmed. If that’s the case, though, it would make sense for the game to be nearing the end of its development cycle. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet ignited plenty of intrigue last year when it was revealed, but it may be a while before Naughty Dog showcases anything else.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet May Not Appear at This Year’s Game Awards
Jeff Grubb has shot down rumors that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is content complete and set to make an appearance at the Game Awards. In a short and simple Twitter post, Grubb claimed that Intergalactic will not be at The Game Awards.
The announcement of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet showcased a different side of Naughty Dog, as the studio has become well-known for its more grounded franchises, like Uncharted and The Last of Us. The trailer promises an intriguing retro-futuristic mystery steeped in sci-fi, and while a second trailer at The Game Awards would be exciting, it seems as though fans shouldn’t hold their breath.
The ceremony is only a few weeks now, and as the wait comes to a close, gamers will soon get to see what surprises the awards show has in store. Every year, The Game Awards has a few tricks up its sleeve, but only time will tell if Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will be part of those plans or not. Since announcing the project, Naughty Dog has kept the game shrouded in mystery. Even if Grubb’s claim is accurate, the wait for a second Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer hopefully won’t be too much longer.
