Sony Santa Monica’s release of God of War earlier this year proved that the series needed a good press of that restart button. The developers have announced that the previously announced, New Game+ mode, will be coming in the form of a patch later this month on Aug 20.
In order to play through New Game+, you must have first completed the main story mode, doesn’t matter what difficulty. Once you do that, the mode will be available to play. Here’s whats included in the new patch:
- Relive the journey of Kratos and Atreus with all of your previous armors, enchantments, talismans, resources, and abilities on the difficulty of your choosing.
- Test your skills against higher level enemies; some of which might even have a few new tricks up their sleeves!
- Unique to New Game+ is a brand new rarity level of equipment to craft and upgrade! Collect ‘Skap Slag’, a new resource to upgrade your gear to the best of the best from our finest blacksmiths.
- Play the game in a whole new way by exploring new customization options with extremely powerful new armor sets and enchantments.
- Finally, get right back into the action with the newly added ability to skip through cinematics in both normal and New Game+ modes once a full play through has been completed.
