God of War Ragnarök’s new game plus mode beefs up the original game

Spring might be on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean winter is over in the Nine Realms. God of War Ragnarök A new update for the PlayStation Plus was available on Wednesday. This allows you to relive your story and add additional features. According to the PlayStation Blog, the New Game Plus update includes new equipment, higher levels cap and armor enhancements.

The base game must be completed in order to gain access to the new content. You can save your progress and start a New Game Plus. This will give you access to additional features that were not available at the beginning. Equipment, weapons, and skills will carry over from your last save as well, so you’ll get to use all your fancy tricks from the beginning — save for the Sonic and Hex arrows.

A lot of new armour options have been added to the game’s main features. The Black Bear is Kratos’ furry cloak, while the Spartan Armor makes it more difficult to travel. (The set doesn’t have a Perk or added stats, and it stays locked at the first Power Level.) This update will add the Ares, Zeus and Zeus armor sets to the original game as well as new colors for existing armor sets.

There are plenty of other additions if you aren’t into playing dress-up with Kratos. Kratos, as well his enemies, will both be able to level up at a higher level. The expanded game will also allow players to turn their level 9 equipment into a special “plus” version, and it’ll introduce new enhancements to further customize items. You can either pick the perfect power-up or use the new “Burden” enchantments to customize the difficulty of a fight.
