The game lacks a release window, and hasn&#8217;t been seen in any capacity since March 2024. At least Levine&#8217;s comments essentially confirm you will not be buying character skins and completing any Battle Passes in Judas.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"hSrgezyVfF4\" data-start=\"0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hSrgezyVfF4?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Judas - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hSrgezyVfF4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Since then they made Uncharted 4, Uncharted: Lost Legacy, The last of Us part II and also remastered TLOU for PS4, remade it from the ground up in a new engine for PS5 and also remastered TLOU pt.II with new content. I wonder if Judas will release before or after Intergalactic: the Heretic Prophet\u2026<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8736374\" data-author=\"users\/343439\" data-subject=\"comments\/8736374\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8736374\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/343439\/avatar.jpg?v=1720884658\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"RagnarLothbrok\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/07\/you-buy-the-game-and-you-get-the-whole-thing-judas-dev-not-about-live-service#comment8736374\">4<\/a><\/li>\n<li>RagnarLothbrok<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-14T12:27:50+00:00\">13m ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@SeaDaVie well i mean naughty dog has like 1000+ people working there.
