The Natural Doctrine trophies will be a lot harder to access in the coming days, so make sure to grab the game from the PS Store if you are interested. That's right, the Natural Doctrine PS Store delisting will take place on Friday, September 29, 2023. Make sure to check out our upcoming server closures guide for more games to keep an eye on.

The Natural Doctrine platinum trophy is leaving the PS Store

Natural Doctrine was released onto PS4, PS3, and PS Vita back in 2014 both physically and digitally. The only way to play the game going forward will be to purchase the increasingly more expensive physical version of the game. It's worth pointing out that the game is being delisted in the EU, NA, and UK due to NIS America no longer having the license to publish the game. However, the game may still be purchasable in places outside of these locations, it will just depend on those publishers' licenses.

Depending on what happens with the game's servers after the delisting, you may want to steer clear of the title altogether. There has been no word on if the delisting is also a sign that the servers are coming to a close. However, seeing as there has been no announcement made surrounding this topic, we can have quiet optimism that we will still be able to earn the platinum trophy after Friday, September 29, 2023, passes by.

Natural Doctrine has been around for quite some time and hasn't exactly received favorable reviews. So, if Natural Doctrine's online mode were to spontaneously have its plug pulled, we wouldn't be all that surprised. However, if this was to happen the platinum trophy would be discontinued and you wouldn't be able to earn it. So keep that information in mind if you are planning on purchasing the game before Friday, September 29, 2023.

While I personally have no interest in Natural Doctrine, it's never a joyous sight to see a game being ripped from the PS Store. However, judging from all the reviews I have seen online, it doesn't appear to be a game that many of us will miss. With all that said, a part of me would love to add the physical PS Vita version to my slowly growing collection.

What do you make of the Natural Doctrine PS Store delisting? Are you a fan of the game? Do you think it deserves more love than it gets? If you are a sucker for underrated titles, check it out! Now, let us know all your thoughts and feelings on this matter in the comments below!
