Verified answer
Quick answer
No reviewed evidence currently supports New Game Plus being enabled in the retail game. A July 7, 2026 interview said the feature was under consideration and not enabled at that time; that is not a promise that it will be added.
The latest verified updates—PC 1.0.3 and console 1.0.2—do not announce NG+. Starting New Game, loading an earlier save, and continuing a post-game save are separate functions and should not be described as NG+.
Evidence checked September 8, 2026. No verified retail-menu capture or official post-launch announcement confirms NG+.
Plan post-story cleanup using the Patch Notes, Trophy Guide and 30-Day Time Limit.
Current NG+ status
The reviewed retail evidence does not support a selectable New Game Plus mode as of September 8, 2026. Neither the official PC 1.0.3 update record nor the verified console 1.0.2 notes announce it.
This is deliberately narrower than saying the developer has rejected the feature. In a July 7, 2026 interview, senior quest designer Patryk Fijałkowski described NG+ as being considered and not enabled at that point. “Under consideration” is not a release commitment, date, or roadmap item.
What the evidence shows
- The current official product pages describe the retail game and platform features without a verified NG+ claim.
- The checked PC and console update notes do not add or announce NG+.
- A DawnwalkerDB audit reported no recognizable NG+ or carryover naming in 53,274 English strings. That community audit was not independently reproduced and cannot prove the feature is absent from code.
- None of the cited sources captures a retail menu containing an NG+ option.
The strongest defensible conclusion is therefore “not currently confirmed or supported by the reviewed evidence,” not “never coming.”
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
Because no supported NG+ mode has been identified, there are no verified rules for carrying levels, skills, equipment, money, codex entries, romance flags, trophies, or quest choices. Lists that claim exact carryover behavior should be treated as speculation unless they show an official announcement or a reproducible retail menu.
How to check after an update
- Confirm the platform and version number.
- Read the official patch notes rather than relying on a headline.
- Check the main menu only after completing the game if an update specifically announces NG+.
- Preserve the completed save; do not overwrite it based on an unverified rumor.
