A former Naughty Dog developer has warned that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, the upcoming game from The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann's studio, might need editing to avoid repeating problems the studio faced around The Last of Us Part 2. The comments highlight ongoing scrutiny of Druckmann's post-Naughty Dog venture and concerns that lessons from past controversies, including leaks and fan backlash surrounding Last of Us 2's story, should inform how the new title is developed and released.

The warning points to the risk of the game facing a similarly turbulent reception if narrative or design choices are not carefully reviewed before launch. Specific details of the article's content were not fully available, but the core message centres on a former industry insider urging caution and possible revisions to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet ahead of its release.
