A Way to Play Again Without Starting from Scratch

New Game Plus is a feature frequently available in games that allows players who have finished the game to start again with the inventory, upgrades, and levels they acquired in their previous playthrough. This lets those who enjoyed the main story experience it again, without feeling like they had to lose all their progress to do so.

Horizon Zero Dawn - Create a New Game Plus Loadout

Horizon Zero Dawn featured a robust New Game Plus mode, allowing a player in a completed game save to create a new loadout to use in a New Game Plus file at any time, so they could continue building up before setting off on the New Game Plus file.

It even featured several new gameplay additions, such as the inclusion of Adept Weapons, and new versions of existing weapons with an upgraded maximum of 4 modification slots.
