God of War Ragnarök New Game Plus Out Today

Are you looking for a reason to get out your Leviathan Axe and go on another adventure? As of today, there’s a new update for God of War Ragnarök featuring a load of new content, all built around a robust New Game Plus mode.

For anyone who has beat the game, New Game Plus is available. Your equipment and skills are welcome along. All weapons are available to you, even the Draupnir Spear. However, it should be noted that areas requiring that spear to access will still remain closed until you reach the appropriate point in the story. For similar reasons, you also won’t start your new playthrough with Sonic or Hex arrows.

There have been several new armors. The most interesting is the Spartan Armor, which recalls Kratos’ look from the old days in the Greek Pantheon. While wearing it, you get no perk, no stats, and it’s locked at Power Level 1 – expect a challenge.

You can also enjoy a higher level cap and enchantments as well as progression routes to enhance your skills. A new version of Niflheim Arena is available for players. You can choose to play as Kratos or Atreus. A variety of companions are also available.

Among several other additions and improvements, players can also take on a Black and White Render mode for a more cinematic playthrough.

It’s a notably large blast of new content that ensures that dedicated fans should have good reason to jump back in if they desire.

God of War Ragnarök released last November for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
