CD Projekt RED community manager Marcin Momot has revealed on Twitter that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s New Game+ DLC is currently rolling out. It’s already available for the Xbox One (at 9.51 MB) and according to Momot, it “should be out everywhere by tomorrow”.

This will be good news for those disheartened by the news of no RedKit 2 modding tools for the game, especially since New Game+ has been hotly anticipated since the game’s release.

Along with starting players off at level 30 and featuring harder foes to tussle with, you’ll be able to use all your equipment obtained from your previous playthrough (with some exceptions like Gwent Cards). This offers an incentive for players to really let loose with any leveled gear they discovered late in the game.

What are your thoughts on the addition of New Game+ to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information.

CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be receiving a New Game+ as its final free DLC. This mode essentially allows players to carry over their weapons, gear, levels and recipes into a harder mode with higher level enemies. The purpose of New Game+ is to not only introduce newer challenges for experienced players but to also provide some use for the higher level loot you acquire near the end of the base game.

However, once you finish New Game+, you won’t be able to run a new playthrough with even higher level enemies. Unlike, say, Dark Souls, the New Game+ mode will not stack according to community manager Marcin Momot.

It also seems that fast travel points unlocked in normal mode won’t carry over. And as for whether the DLC will release this week or not, Momot stated that he “can’t give the date yet (we’re getting there though).”

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will also see its first major expansion in October with Hearts of Stone. Will this be compatible with New Game+? We’ll find out in the coming months.

Now that patch 1.08 for The Witcher 3 has gone live, the waiting game has officially commenced for the next DLC, which will include the much anticipated New Game Plus content. We know that CD Projekt RED was planning on releasing the DLC sometime shortly after patch 1.08 so the waiting game shouldn’t take all that long.

The good news is that the development team announced on Twitter that they have an “internal” release date for the DLC and that they will be announcing the final release date soon. CD Projekt RED’s Marcin Momot made it clear that it’s not going to be too long before we can get our hands on this final piece of free DLC. To his and The Witcher 3 team’s credit, when they say something is coming soon, it usually comes relatively soon.

Patch 1.08 came complete with several fixes, including those that applied to achievements. There had been talk that the fixes wouldn’t be retroactive. The Card Collector achievement fix was included in the most recent patch and that apparently does apply to those who actually got the achievement before the patch landed. While we don’t have that official release date for the DLC that includes New Game Plus, it should be coming in the next couple of weeks. CD Projekt RED has been good about keeping the content flowing since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was first released for the PC, Sony PS4 and Microsoft Xbox One.
