General News

We’ve all become accustomed to trophies unlocking a certain way when we play our games, but Lone Survivor will be a little different. In order to keep them as unobtrusive as possible, trophies won’t unlock during gameplay, instead being displayed when you go to sleep or beat the game. There will also be a Platinum, and most trophies will remain secret in your first playthrough to “ensure the first playthrough of the game is not coloured by trophy hunting.” [Via/Source]
