The Last of Us: Part II’s Trophy list has been updated with two new trinkets to unlock: Grounded difficulty and Permadeath. This suggests that an update is imminent, adding the enhanced difficulty options. The title hasn’t been patched since around launch, so Naughty Dog has clearly had this cooking for quite some time.
It’s worth mentioning that the two new Trophies are separate from the main list, so you won’t need to complete the game on its hardest difficulty in order to unlock the Platinum. We suspect more information will be revealed in the near future.

Permadeath sounds... horrific. Now that’s masochistic.
So no longer will have 100%... bummer
nice little bonus! love it when devs add a few new Trophies for another playthrough👍👍
Oof, permadeath sounds intense...
Oh GOD NO ! I don't wanta play this fu*king game anymore WHY do they need to add new ***** ? It's compelling me to play these level.
I hate when they ruin trophy list like this.
@SurvivorGirl1 Just ignore it and wait for MP mode. That's probably the only thing close to the TLOU2 that I will be getting. Glad I refunded my money as soon as I could.
Been waiting for this news, can't wait to play it on grounded with permadeath My first and only playthrough was on survivor, looking forward to the challenge.
@Jarobusa exactly my first thought 😂
Haven't got round to a replay yet despite wanting to so i might just hold off and wait for this update now.
The permadeath trophy says "complete the story with any permadeath setting" so it sounds like there'll be Easy PD, Normal PD, Hard PD etc. Or that there'll be like a soft permadeath that sends you back to the start of the chapter. After all, even regular permadeath isn't actually permanent, you can always try again.
I want multiplayer and that's really it.
Permadeath = Joel Mode.
@nessisonett depends on the difficulty setting... if it's on easy setting, regular backing up of saves will make it a cinch, if it's on Grounded difficulty, yeah, good luck with that. I'm kind of liking how Sony's first party games get these sort of NG+ type updates post launch. Although I'm in no hurry to go back to TLoU2.
@ApostateMage too soon!!!
lol.
Now my trophy list won't be 100% and go down to 89% or something.
I might only go back and do a grounded run WAAAAAY down the line.
Bring back factions. Loved TLOU multiplayer
Maybe if this was part of the main trophy list people would slow down on the platinum. I see a lot of people platting this game so quickly as though there is some deadline I haven't heard about.
It might make the game less of a slog
So your telling me, if I jump off a cliff as Abby in the beginning, she dies permanently?
You couldn't pay me to play this game again.
Permadeath for a 20-30 hour game is soooo dumb, regardless of difficulty. That means you die and your savegame gets deleted, right? Any time I've tried for a trophy like this (Witcher 2, Dead Space 2), I always die from something really stupid and then feel like a fool for wasting so much time.
I hate when they ruin trophy list like this....
Perma death. Insanity.
@ApostateMage That's comment of the generation right there. lol
@stinkyx At Least It Won't Be No Where Near As Cheap As Divinity Original Sins Honor Mode.
@ApostateMage And this is where I like your comment.
A no death run somewhat interests me, and I'd be tempted to play it on Grounded, until I remember how disappointed I was with the story and even gameplay toward the end.
Can't imagine how frustrating it'd feel to go some 20+ hours through the game only to come up against your typical late-game Naughty Dog enemies with ridiculous health and bulletproof helmets.
Thanks ND - Time for Round 4
I'm finally playing the game. Thank god I borrowed it.
