"Bloomberg's Jason Schreier reported Friday that Naughty Dog, the studio behind acclaimed Sony franchises like Uncharted and The Last of Us, had ordered mandatory overtime for its employees to finish work on a demo of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The developer has reportedly been pushing workers for the last seven weeks to work longer hours so that the demo would be ready for an upcoming internal review by Sony."
"Naughty Dog is hard at work on its next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Revealed last year at The Game Awards, the sci-fi action-adventure title is believed to be a long way off from release. But a new Bloomberg report detailing development practices at the Sony-owned studio claims that Intergalactic is planned for launch in mid-2027. And to meet the target, Naughty Dog has reportedly mandated employees to work overtime."
Naughty Dog has ordered mandatory overtime to complete a demo of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, requiring staff to work at least eight extra hours weekly since late October. Teams have worked extended hours for seven weeks to prepare a demo for an internal Sony review. The studio missed several deadlines on Intergalactic and increased overtime to return production to schedule. Sony revealed the first trailer in December 2024 and described the game as the studio's "wildest, most creative story yet" with its "deepest gameplay." Industry insiders view the title as unlikely to release in 2026, with a mid-2027 target reported.
