God of War Ragnarök’s new game plus mode is here with a bunch of new content

Spring is coming, but that doesn’t mean winter is over in the Nine Realms. God of War Ragnarok received a new update on Wednesday that allows players to relive the story with additional features. The New Game Plus update adds new gear, a higher level cap and new improvements to strengthen your armor, according the PlayStation blog.

To access the new content, you must complete the base game. When you’re done, you can start a New Game Plus save with additional features accessible from the start. Gear, weapons and skills also carry over from your last save, so you can use all your fancy tricks from the start – except for the Sonic and Hex arrows.

The main additions include a ton of new armor options. Highlights include the Black Bear, which dresses Kratos in his big furry cloak from the start of the game, and the Spartan Armor, which essentially makes the journey more difficult as it has unique lowered stats. (The set has no Perk or added stats and remains locked at the first Power Level.) The update also brings in the Ares and Zeus armor sets from the original game, as well as new color options for existing armor sets.

There are plenty of other additions if you’re not into dressing up with Kratos. There will be a higher level cap so that both Kratos and his enemies can level up more. The expanded game also allows players to convert their level 9 gear into a special “plus” version, and introduces new enhancements to further customize items. You can choose the perfect power-up or use the new ‘Burden’ enchantments to adjust the difficulty of a battle.

These are just the highlights; if you want to see all the new, check it out from the PlayStation blog. The New Game Plus update is available to owners of War god RagnarOk now.
