Jason Schreier: Witcher 4 and Intergalactic Will Not Release in 2026

did anyone think either game was this year?

We've seen no gameplay from either and W4 announcement was basically a CG trailer.

Weiner boy just loves to feel important, he obviously didn't have any real hot gossip like his usual scoops are.

Naughty Dog's output has slowed down to almost nothing.

PS1: 4 games
PS2: 4 games
PS3: 4 games (5 if you count Left Behind as a separate title)
PS4: 3 games
PS5: 1 game in 2027

And maybe TLoU3 as a cross gen game for PS5/PS6 in 2028/29? Or will that game skip PS5 entirely?
PS5 was going to be 2 titles, TLOU Online 2 (which would have been gaas) and Intergalactic.

People would have probably been playing TLOU Online 2 this year.
 
Naughty Dog can't afford to be a one game per generation studio. Especially when it's output is generally single player, narrative heavy third person action.

Of course we will get this in the last year of the PS5, there will be a update for £15/£20 on PS6. Then there will be the remaster for PS6 and PC release which will add some legs. But I held off buying TLoU 2 on PS4 Pro and think I'll be doing the same here.

But I'm not all that fussed really, we haven't seen too much up to now. We've had a slew of space games in the last 3 years or so and I'm approaching saturation without a break. The tease didn't grab me like Uncharted or TLoU so it's just a point of frustration that were not seeing the power houses flex on the dominant platform.

I'll probably lose hours of my life to GTA 6 anyway and I have a backlog so long.....
I'm probably in the minority, but I am excited when I see prestigious studios take 6-7 years to develop a single game. When Rockstar, CDPR, And Naughty Dog drop a game, I want something groundbreaking. And Naughty Dog has built up enough good will to do this. The Last of Us and Uncharted are both massive IP'S across both video games and tv/movies.

I am pretty sure Intergalactic is trying to be the first video game to have the same actors in the game be the same actors in a live action TV show. From that perspective, Sony can justify this massive cost of development

More like 2.5 games for ps4 what was the full 3rd one?

7 years to make 1 game these dev cycles have got out of control

It's pretty wild to think that Sony's premier studio hasn't released a new game for 7 years when Intergalactic finally comes out.

That's going to be some serious sales expectations for this game. Popcorn will be needed. 🍿
 
Imagine those 70m have to decide to move on to ps6? that makes it a hard sell for bunch those folks. I think the Ps6 will be treated like the 5090 from Nvidia, for content creators, hobbiests, former master race dudes.
Yeah I will try to wait for everything to come to pc next gen.

It's not even a space game, it apparently all takes place on 1 planet.
 
Can someone ask this motherfucker what's up with the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster/remake he said was coming multiple times over the years?

1 - You really think Neil Druckmann was the creative director on The Last of Us Online - a multiplayer game - while also writing and directing Intergalctic?
2 - You really think Sony is going to shut down Naughty Dog?


1 - It was Druckmann's grand vision, there are many quotes by him talking about taking MP to next level or something along those lines. Nothing wrong with being ambitious, as long as you set realistic goals and budgets. Obviously, he and PS Studios management are at fault.

2 - After the Factions debacle ND went though a few layoffs. I'm not saying ND would be shut down, but nobody has unlimited credit. If Intergalactic sells much less than TLOU, things won't look pretty.

I got the impression that Neil Druckmann is not really aware of how important it is for his career than the new IP becomes a massive success. If he did, he would be fully on it, instead of hanging around with Hollywood people.
 
I'm fine with it. I don't care if Intergalactic ever comes out and Witcher 4....ehh.....may they have all the success of AC Shadows.
 
Witcher 4 was expected. And I think it's good news because with UE5 it's going to run like dogshit on Ps5/SX.

Intergalatic is surprising as I did think it was pretty safe to assume it was a 2026 title, but I'm also not particularly hyped for it so who cares.

My guess is he is fully aware of how important it for him to generate money for Naughty Dog and Sony, so he's helping on the adaptation of the game he created and working on creating a new IP Sony can exploit(in the good sense of the word).

I highly doubt a multiplayer game is the grand vision of a guy who's bread and butter is "cinematic narrative games". And of course he had to hype it up, he's the studio head. A lot of people lost their jobs when that project died. My guess is if it was his brain child, he'd either be gone too or be on a much shorter leash.

This is probably the quote you're referring to?
 

Jason Schreier crystal ball is usually wrong, but as many leakers do, he can do no wrong and will never admit he pulled it out of his ass to stay relevant, or will misdirect saying 'things changed' or 'my sources blablabla' like you could fastrack a project by a year.

Calling The Archivist O onQ123 to archive this receipt so later he can scrub it along Jason's face like a freshly cut bellend.
 
With Sony looking to drop Wolverine, Saros, are we surprised that Intergalactic wouldn't drop in 2026? Also more reason to believe the PS6 isn't coming in 2027.

Wouldn't it be nice if they could add two more games to that 2026 list?
 
Find the intergalactic not making 2026 a bit hard to believe considering Naughty Dog said they were stopping announcing games early.

But who knows maybe Sony made them do the announcement
