Does The Blood of Dawnwalker Have New Game Plus?

Verified answer

Quick answer

Game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz confirmed in a September livestream that New Game Plus is coming to The Blood of Dawnwalker. He did not reveal when it will arrive.

Update 1.1 is released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Its October 22 full notes do not list NG+ or carryover rules; a skill reset is not a carryover campaign.

Evidence checked October 22, 2026. All-platform 1.1 release and full notes checked. NG+ and carryover rules are not listed; no new retail-menu test is claimed.

Plan post-story cleanup using the Patch Notes, Respec & Draught of Mind Rebirth, Story vs Forgiving Difficulty, Trophy Guide and All Endings.

Current NG+ status

New Game Plus has a developer confirmation of intent, but the checked evidence does not verify a playable NG+ release. The September 20 evidence review recorded no retail NG+ mode. During the cited September livestream, director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz confirmed that the feature was coming without providing a release date or delivery details.

That confirmation supersedes the July 7 interview in which senior quest designer Patryk Fijałkowski described NG+ as merely under consideration. It confirms the feature is planned, not that it has already shipped.

Does Update 1.1 include New Game Plus?

Update 1.1 is released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, but release does not by itself confirm NG+ delivery. The official October 22 full notes do not list New Game Plus or carryover rules. Keep a confirmed patch release separate from an unlisted feature.

The released features include ability respec and revised Story/Forgiving modes. Neither is a carryover campaign. The October 16 preview and October 22 full notes have now been checked; we have not independently tested a retail NG+ menu.

“Not listed in 1.1” does not prove that NG+ can never arrive. Keep the patch-status page and an explicit NG+ release announcement separate from community expectations.

What the evidence shows

Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has confirmed that NG+ is coming.
The cited confirmation gives no release date, platform schedule, or carryover rules.
The retained Hotfix 1.0.4 and PC Hotfix 1.0.5 notes do not document an NG+ addition.
This page does not verify a retail menu containing an NG+ option. A community file search cannot establish every current build's feature availability.

The supported conclusion is: NG+ is developer-confirmed as a future feature, while a playable release is not verified by this source set. A historical menu check is not a fresh test of every current platform build.

What does not count as New Game Plus?

Starting New Game

A fresh New Game begins a normal campaign. Without verified carryover rules, do not expect skills, equipment, quest flags, or currency to transfer.

Loading a save

Loading a manual or automatic save returns to that existing campaign state. It does not create a new campaign with inherited progress.

Continuing after the ending

Post-game availability and NG+ are separate questions. A title can permit a pre-ending reload or limited continuation without offering a true carryover playthrough.

Unknown carryover rules

The checked sources do not establish carryover rules. This guide cannot confirm whether levels, skills, equipment, money, codex entries, romance flags, trophies, or quest choices transfer. Lists that claim exact carryover behavior should be treated as speculation unless they cite a later official announcement or a reproducible retail build.

How to check after an update

Confirm the platform and version number.
Read the official patch notes rather than relying on a headline.
Wait for patch notes that explicitly say NG+ is live; the director's confirmation alone does not enable the mode.
Preserve the completed save; do not overwrite it based on an unverified rumor.

The Patch Notes page tracks the current verified version history. Until an update actually adds NG+, keep a manual save before the final quest and use the All Endings Guide when planning multiple outcomes.
