Neil Druckmann - New Interview (Intergalactic)

[Yrassinad]

Nothing about what he says implied the game ain't coming next year lol. All he said is he will be showing off a lot of it next year which means marketing will start .

It's crazy to expect him casually drop a release timeline in a random interview when Sony has been very meticulous with how they announce release dates now.

Few months ago many of y'all would have said there was no way until dawn 2 would be dropping in January either.

Jesus man I know you treat PlayStation like your religion and anything short of glazing it is perceived as blasphemy to you but all I said is that it "sounds like" it won't be releasing in 2027. Which is not that crazy of an observation when he's saying we will be seeing story and gameplay next year, knowing the trend of Sony not really marketing big game X when big game Y still needs to release. And with Laufey now delayed until May that likely means re-revealing the game in summer 2027.

Obviously I know he's not gonna just drop the release date or window in a random interview.

Also, lmao for thinking I care about Until Dawn at all or even remember that's part of their first party lineup. If I want to watch a movie I'll just turn on a movie.

They showed Spiderman 2 gameplay for the first time then released it 5 months later. Before they revealed Intergalactic, Neil said that when they do a reveal of their next game that it wouldn’t take long for them to release it. I know they revealed it in 2024, but I think they view the gameplay reveal as the proper reveal. Also. People like Jason Schreier said the game is on track to release next year.

Well, we'll see. I'm not saying I'm ruling out 2027 like some fragile fanboys in here seem to be taking it. All I'm saying is that I feel like it'd be an awfully short marketing cycle for a game of this scope if they'd wait until summer next year to start showing gameplay, and the reason I assume that is because I assume they want to focus on marketing Laufey until it's out because that's a big title too.

People forget that we didn’t get to see Spiderman 2 gameplay until it was 5 months away from release. This is what PS does now. I think it will be a November launch.

Spider-Man 2 and Astro Bot are exceptions to the rule here and how they were doing things before 2025. Games that came out in 2025 and onwards have almost all had a full year between the (re)reveal and the actual release date:

Ghost of Yotei: Revealed in September 2024 SOP -> gameplay SOP in July 2025 -> launched in October 2025
Saros: Revealed in February 2025 SOP -> gameplay September 2025 -> launched April 2026
Tokon: Revealed in June 2025 SOP (gameplay already included) -> launched August 2026
Wolverine: (Re)revealed in September 2025 SOP (gameplay already included) -> launched September 2026

Even if you only look at the gameplay reveal of some of these we are looking at a 4-8 month window between that and the release. So if they wait until Laufey is out they're either going to get the game out right at the end of the year or early in 2028.

Yup! Sony have such a packed 2027. They certainly will try to avoid cannibalizing their own games. They gotta get out Until Dawn 2, MLB, Kena and Laufey in the first 6 months.

I'ma assuming this well get announced in the June SOP or Games Fest

Lol you are saying this like the audience for something like Kena and MLB are the same and that they would cannibalize each other
. A month between every release is more than enough. They released Sons of Sparta, MLB26 and Saros within an 80-day window.

Intergalactic getting a gameplay/story reveal at SGF is literally what I wrote before. But somehow I'm crazy for suggesting that a tentpole game not getting revealed until June 2027 might be slipping out of 2027.

1) I'm not religious so I'd never make anyone or anything my religion

2) The game was always gonna be revealed summer 2027 whether Laufey got delayed or not!

3) I never said you cared about Until Dawn 2, you're not every important after all.

4) And yes I called out your nonsense since nothing he said implied the game was slipping. The fact he said he plans to do media blow outs next year implied quite the opposite

How can you assume it would always be revealed summer 2027? Laufey was set to release February 16th, and in the past two years there has been a State of Play on February 12th. That could've been a moment to reveal Intergalactic if they were aiming for a summer/late 2027 release. The last rumors we had from Jason Schreier was that Intergalactic was supposed to be a summer/mid-2027 title. So saying a summer 2027 reveal was always the plan is just another retarded cope theory you made to defend your precious company. Although obviously a summer release ain't happening with Laufey's delay.

And yeah, I'm not important, just like Until Dawn lmao. Get out of here acting like it's some sort of big pivotal title lol.

Also him saying they plan to finally reveal the actual game in motion in 2027 doesn't confirm the opposite of the game potentially being a 2028 title lol. All it confirms is that they will show the game next year, not that it'll be coming out. A few months or even more than a year between a gameplay reveal and the actual release is not unheard of. See Marvel Tokon and Wolverine.

Some say Intergalactic will release in 2027
Others say it will release in 2028
All we really know is, Druckman is a hack.
