What does New Game Plus mean? We explain

For those who once played through is not enough, New Game Plus is an interesting option. Our guide explains the feature, which is now available in a whole range of games.

Alder character, new challenge: New Game Plus is very popular.

After the end of solo games with story, the game world is usually still open to the player, but all important tasks have long since been completed.

How New Game Plus works

Games with New Game Plus allow further playthroughs, but without a complete character restart:

• Story and game world are completely reset in New Game Plus, so you can start through again.
• However, this does not require a new character: In a New Game Plus, you continue to play with your previous character, the progress is taken over.
• All skills as well as weapons and equipment that you have laboriously worked out, thus remain available.
• In turn, the difficulty level is scaled up accordingly.

The work you have put into your character was not in vain and you can experience the game again. Längst nicht alle Spiele ermöglichen ein New Game Plus, einige sehr prominente Titel jedoch schon, etwa Dark Souls III und The Witcher 3.
