Sometime yesterday, an anonymous poster claiming to be a “disgruntled Naughty Dog employee” leaked Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet‘s plot. The so-called leak reads like an awful fan fiction, but as we’ve come to expect, it didn’t take long for the post to start making rounds, amplified by social media accounts with a large number of followers. However, it has been confirmed that the plot is fake.
Fake Intergalactic plot leak reminded fans of the infamous The Last of Us Part II leak
Sony studios are no strangers to leaks, but Naughty Dog is arguably the only PlayStation developer that suffered intense backlash over the infamous plot leak from The Last of Us Part II, which continued for years after the game launched. Since then, the studio has fallen out of favor with a certain section of the gaming community, and is frequently targeted by it.
Intergalactic’s reveal last week also polarized fans, prompting some harsh reactions on social media. It’s no surprise, then, that the fake plot leak started making rounds as if some folks wanted to believe it was real. However, journalist and insider Jason Schreier confirmed on Bluesky that the alleged gameplay details are fake.
We’ll find out more about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet officially in due course. In the meantime, it’s safe to assume that any “disgruntled Naughty Dog employee” is a troll.
