After game director Kim Hyung-tae announced New Game Plus would be coming “very soon” to Stellar Blade, various reviews have confirmed its availability from launch. YouTuber FightinCowboy revealed this on Twitter, and IGN also updated their review to confirm the arrival of New Game Plus in a new patch.
New Game Plus allows players to carry all their equipment, items, enhancements, unlocked skills, SP, currency, drone upgrades and records into a new playthrough. Of course, the game’s progress will reset, which likely means that certain story-related items won’t be available immediately for players. Other New Game Plus changes, such as more challenging enemies or exclusive content, have yet to be outlined.
Stellar Blade launches on April 26th for PS5. Check out our review – we awarded it an 8 out of 10, praising the setting, combat, enemy variety, and boss fights. However, the dialogue is iffy, while side quests are “generic” and “uninteresting.” There are plans to add more costumes to the game, though they could cost real money if Shift Up collaborates with another company’s IP.
Was super bummed at the item of starting over without my outfits and upgrades. NO LONGER IS THAT A CONCERN pic.twitter.com/NrzzLnkHpV
