The Witcher 3 To Get New Game Plus Mode
Aug. 4, 2015The Witcher 3 To Get New Game Plus Mode
Are you ready for a second, harder go through ofThe Witcher 3? Well good then, because developer CD Projekt Red is delivering a New Game Plus mode as their final free DLC for the third installment in their popular dark fantasy series. While they have yet to announce a release date, Community Coordinator Marcin Momot took to theforumsto give the fans an idea of what to expect.
Here’s what Mr. Momot had to say:
“Regarding some of the questions that appeared since yesterday, here are the answers.Enemies will be stronger, obviously.What carries over?Player experience (if you’re below level 30 when finishing the vanilla game, you will be bumped to level 30 for the start of NG+), items (excluding: quest items, books & letters, Gwent cards, usable items, trophies), money and alchemy recipes.When starting New Game Plus you can select any difficulty level.You can obtain the Death Match achievement when playing the NG+ mode.What’s the starting level of the character when beginning NG+?The same that you had when finishing the game, if above 30, otherwise you start at level 30. You also get a free Clearing Potion at the start so you can reset your skills and try a different build.”
New Game Plus modes are often loved for their ability to breathe fresh life into a game that’s been beaten and in danger of landing in dust collector status. This sounds like it will do just that for existing owners, and provide a little extra incentive for those thinking about making a new purchase. We’ll have more updates for you as we get some concrete release times.
UPDATE This is live on Xbox One and to be released by tomorrow, 8/18 on PS4 and PC astweetedtoday by CM Marcin Momot.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
Wonderful that this is now live on all platforms! WOOOHOO
Bumped to call attention to the release date announced. Will be available by tomorrow on PC and PS4.
Ha thanks Capa, good to be back and good to see you around!
Aaiiieee it’s E, good to see you dude. 2 good bits of news in 1 article.
I’m delaying my next playthrough til NG+ is here.
This game made me into a massive witcher fanboy, I absolutely loved it… And I’m reading the books now.
This is quite an awesome addition that I am sure fans will take full advantage of. Particularly useful considering the Gwent collection game was somewhat bugged and some people didn’t get their trophy!
