The sparring arena in Niflheim has also been expanded, letting you play as Kratos or Atreus, and pick any companion characters ranging from Freya, Brok, Sindri, Angrboda, Ingrid, Thor, and Thrúd. For instance, the Burden of evasion will slow down Kratos by activating an automatic Frost status effect when dodge rolling. ‘Burdens' is a new set among them, which lets you equip negative perks for a more masochistic affair in God of War Ragnarök's NG+ mode. For the uninitiated, enchantments add special perks to any armour set, giving you an edge in battle. Such conversions also earn you a Gilded Coin now, which can be used to acquire new enchantments from in-game shops. Keeping in fashion with every other New Game+ mode, both Kratos and his enemies will be more powerful with an increased level cap - all earned weapons can now further be upgraded to ‘Plus' versions, resulting in stronger effects. Players can also purchase the Spartan Aspis shield that bears a tighter parry window, or mess around with colour combinations for their Level 9+ armour.

The former has a chance of dropping a health stone on hit, while the latter greatly increases melee and Runic damage. The Ares and Zeus armour from the 2018 God of War also return in the New Game+ mode. The armour can be acquired at the Huldra Brothers' Shop in exchange for Hacksilver. That said, you won't be able to start the game with access to Sonic and Hex arrows since they're locked behind specific questlines in the main story.įirst up, Santa Monica Studio is adding the much-requested black bear cloak from the opening scene of God of War Ragnarök, with its stats focussing on Strength and Defence “with a perk that rewards your last-second evades with a volley of Bifröst shards.” Of course, since the game plays out as a single, tracking shot, the NG+ run will begin with you donning the ‘Armor of the Black Bear.' Then there's the ‘Spartan Armor' for the lionhearted players, which is essentially a bare-chested Kratos with no perks and stats - locked to level 1 attributes - contributing to more challenging gameplay. As expected, the mode activates after clearing God of War Ragnarök once in any difficulty level, granting the advantage of carrying over any unlocked equipment and skills onto a fresh run. In a tweet, developer Santa Monica Studio confirmed their latest, sizable game update, which brings new equipment, enchantments, stronger enemies, and more for your second plunge back into the Nine Realms.

God of War Ragnarök's New Game+ mode is finally here.
