Is there New Game Plus in Ghost of Yotei?

No, there is no New Game Plus in Ghost of Yotei. While there are many action RPGs that introduce a mode after completing the narrative, allowing the player to retain gear and progression, this game instead focuses on Atsu making their way through Ezo without it.

However, you can also spend time cleaning up and completing side content once you finish the main story. Read on to learn more about it.

The lack of New Game Plus in Ghost of Yotei explained

Typically, a New Game Plus mode lets you replay a game with your hard-earned gear, unlocked abilities, or cosmetics while often ramping up difficulty or offering new rewards.

In Ghost of Yotei, none of these systems are part of the current release. The game’s focus remains on experiencing Atsu’s retaliation against the Yotei Six and fully engaging with the open-world content during a single playthrough.

Completing the campaign takes roughly 25 to 40 hours depending on playstyle. After that, you can roam Ezo freely, complete remaining bounties, explore Occupied Territories, or finish side missions.

Although this doesn’t replace a formal NG+ experience, it gives players the opportunity to continue using the world and systems they’ve mastered.
