• Fixed an issue of missing lines within credits.

Trophies

• Fixed an issue where the “Spit Shine” trophy was not earned when the player upgraded a New Game+ armor piece to level 9.

PS4-Only

• Fixed an issue where an environment would take a moment to load in after the player skipped a cinematic after sprinting to a door.
• Fixed a case where two characters would not appear in their intended spots after skipping the cinematic and quickly progressing on the path.

Known Issue

• Loading a manual save created on PS5 from an imported PS4 New Game+ save will boot the player to the main menu.
  • WORKAROUND: When you are importing PS4 New Game+ save data to a PS5, keep playing after the initial load-in until you have created a new Autosave. Once that has occurred, you can create new Manual Saves that will not be affected by the above issue.
