The Last of Us 2 adding additional difficulty settings?

The Last of Us 2 looks set to add two new difficulty settings, Grounded and Permadeath, after a trophy list update referencing them.

Naughty Dog have updated the PlayStation Trophies list revealing the two upcoming difficulties, but a release date is yet to be announced.

The permadeath mode likely means that players only have one life throughout the whole game and if they die, they must start again from the beginning.

While the grounded difficulty is something that was also added to the original Last of Us game. Which removed the HUD, tripled enemy damage, granted fewer supplies, had less checkpoints and took away the 'listen' ability.
