Solar Ash is creeping up on its 2nd December 2021 release date, and today its Trophy list has gone live on Exophase. It is a collection of digital trinkets that seemingly require multiple playthroughs if you want to unlock the Platinum Trophy, with gongs for finishing the game on the hardest difficulty setting and another for completing it in under three hours. Good luck doing both of those at once, and the Hardcore mode might not even be unlocked right from the off.
Elsewhere, you'll need to attain 100 per cent completion on a save file, pick up collectibles and what we assume is a currency called Plasma, as well as finish quests handed out by NPCs. Then there are what look like Trophies related to the story, so you can guarantee unlocking those before the credits roll.
For those who don't know, Solar Ash is the follow-up game to Hyper Light Drifter from developer Heart Machine, slated for release on PlayStation 5 and PS4. Unrelated to its predecessor, but it promises to be just as good. You can check out some gameplay through here. Will you be trying to unlock the title's Platinum Trophy? Start planning your own playthroughs in the comments below.

I tried to get the platinum in HLD but in the end I couldn’t handle the no death run.
I like this in the sea of 3 min platinums we live in nowadays.
Speed runs are second only to no save runs as my most hated of trophy challenges.
Yeah no, I hate "finish the game in hard difficulty" and "finish the game under x hour" trophy.
It should be like god of war or nier automata that reward trophy for the players that explore the game maps and find the hidden enemies/quests.
@wiiware Speaking of the "finish the game under x hour" trophy, I felt that NieR Replicant's wasn't too bad. 15 hours is a generous amount of time and I saved it for last since I took my time on my 1st playthrough.
@Yamato01 15 hours is pretty generous, as long as the timer stop when players pause. The only "finish under x hours" trophy that I finished is shantae half genie hero since I adore that game.
Requiring multiple playthroughs a is a good way to have me not buy your game.
@wiiware but then that leads to people simply following a guide with no real sense of achievement.
@naruball I usually used guide to platinum games, there's no way I'm wasting my times for mundane things like, say, searching all the odin crow on god of war.
@wiiware yeah, I get that, but does that deserve a trophy more than "finish the game in hard difficulty"?
@naruball I don't know about deserving the trophy, I just don't like replaying games on another / harder difficulty.
@wiiware I know. Me neither. I simply don't go for the platinum if that's the case. Skipping a game over it (as many admit), that's just silly, imo.
@LiamCroft Do we have a price yet?
Solar Ash is releasing in 2 weeks and I can't find that info.
@KidBoruto I don't think so I'm afraid.
@LiamCroft Found it, launching for $40 on Epic Games Store (PC).

@naruball If I like the game I'll still buy it, I just don't platinum it. I didn't have platinum for some of my fav games like uncharted 4 & tlou 1 remaster.
Solar ash seems interesting, I like their previous games (bought it on ps4 and smartphone) so if this game is good I'll play it.
@KidBoruto $40? Clicking the link it's $12 in my country 😏
Man pc games in my country is super cheap 😁
