A New Game Plus mode in Ghost of Yotei would let you replay the story while keeping all the endgame tools and skills from your first playthrough. However, a New Game Plus mode has not yet been added to the game. You can find the answer to this and many other FAQs here.

That said, this could easily change at any time in the future. Read on to learn more about the current status of the New Game Plus mode in the game.

At the moment, Ghost of Yotei does not have a New Game Plus mode. Instead, the game rewinds once you finish it and places you back in a state before the final mission. This gives you the freedom to explore the land of Yotei again and complete anything you missed.

These could include side quests, bounties, or collectibles that were left unfinished. So you do not need to worry about missing out on side content before completing the main story. On top of that, the game itself is fairly long, so it will take a good amount of time to beat.

As for a New Game Plus, never say never. Many titles have launched without the mode, only to add it in later updates. Ghost of Yotei could very well follow that path.

Possibility of Ghost of Yotei Having New Game Plus in the Future

The chances seem high. The original Ghost of Tsushima did not launch with a New Game Plus, but the mode was added later through an update. If we take that precedent into account, it suggests Ghost of Yotei may also receive a New Game Plus mode in the future.

This will, of course, depend on the speed of updates and patches that roll out. However, we expect this New Game Plus mode to come out anywhere between two to fourth months after release. This was the same time frame followed by the original game, so it seems safe to say that this period might be similar for the sequel as well.

If it does arrive, the New Game Plus mode will likely allow players to keep all their skills and weapons while adding an extra layer of difficulty absent from the base game. For now, players will need to rely on post-game exploration, but a future update could open up new replay opportunities.
