Ghost of Tsushima offers players an immersive journey through feudal Japan, filled with intense samurai combat and compelling storytelling. For gamers looking to relive Jin Sakai's epic quest without losing their hard-earned progress, the game includes a dedicated New Game Plus mode. This mode provides extra challenges and exclusive rewards that enhance replay value significantly.
How to Unlock and Access New Game Plus
To access New Game Plus in Ghost of Tsushima, players must first complete the main story campaign on any difficulty setting. Once the final credits roll, the option becomes available directly from the main title menu. Starting a new run drops players directly into the open world of Act 1, skipping the introductory prologue missions.
What Carries Over to Your Next Playthrough
When starting a New Game Plus run, players retain almost all of their combat techniques, unlocked armor sets, and vanity gear. Weapon upgrades and charms carried over from the original playthrough remain fully intact. However, crafting resources, supplies, and ammunition are reset to zero, requiring players to scavenge materials once again.
Exclusive Features and New Game Plus Rewards
New Game Plus introduces a specialized merchant named Baku the Voiceless, who trades exclusive vanity items and powerful charms. Players earn a unique currency called Ghost Flowers by re-completing quests and open-world activities throughout Tsushima. Additionally, players receive a brand-new starting horse featuring a distinct red mane and custom saddle.
Increased Combat Difficulty and Gear Upgrades
To keep gameplay engaging for experienced players, New Game Plus increases the overall combat difficulty across all settings. Weapons and armor pieces can also be upgraded one level further than was previously possible in the base game. These extra upgrade tiers give players the necessary power boost to overcome tougher enemy encounters on the island.
