The Grounded update introduces two new Trophies: one for completing the game with any Permadeath mode enabled and another for beating it on Grounded difficulty. You’ll also be rewarded for your efforts. In other words, if you die at the end of Day One, you’ll have to play the entire day over again. However, if taking on the whole game is too daunting, you can choose to enable Permadeath mode with checkpoints on a per-chapter or per-act basis. With this custom mode enabled, there are no second chances - you must complete the entire game without dying or start over from the beginning.

Beginning with the update, Grounded will become one of the base difficulty options available when starting the story, so you won’t need to have beaten the game once already to access it.Īs an additional layer of challenge, we’re also introducing a brand new Permadeath mode***. This difficulty raises the stakes by not only making enemies deadlier and ammo, upgrade, and crafting materials incredibly scarce, but also removing invaluable tools for survival, such as disabling Listen mode, deactivating elements of the HUD, and more**. Grounded difficulty returns, plus new Permadeath modeįor veteran The Last of Us fans, Grounded difficulty represents the ultimate test of skill. Best of all, it arrives August 13, so let’s get straight into what the Grounded update includes. We’ve been preparing a new update* for The Last of Us Part II, which introduces new features, gameplay modes, Trophies, and more - including the much-requested return of Grounded difficulty. However, that’s not all that’s been keeping us busy. We’ve loved seeing all of you share your experience playing the game, whether it’s by posting your thoughts and impressions on social media, sending us your fan art, or capturing your favorite moments in masterfully choreographed gameplay videos. Hello everyone! We hope you’ve been well, staying safe, and enjoying The Last of Us Part II.
