Assassin's Creed Origins New Game+ Mode Now Available With A Mysterious Reward At The End
The new game+ mode for Assassin's Creed Origins went live today, allowing players to bring a number of things with them forward into a new playthrough of the game.
Players who finish Bayek's adventure the first time around can start again with their abilities, outfits, experience, inventory items, and level all completely intact. It should make it considerably easier to get those pesky assassination targets whenever you want.
Not everything carries over, though. Anything that had a progress requirement the first time around still has one, including DLC. Maps and things like Senu's perception level are also reset. Additionally, enemy levels jump from the difficulty you were on to the next tier up; if you were playing on normal, you move up to hard; if you're on hard, you move up to Nightmare, which is where you max out. Enemy scaling is on by default but can be turned off.
According to Ubisoft's FAQ on the mode, a mysterious reward awaits players at the end, but they're not saying what it is.
The update comes today, along with the new Discovery Mode, which you can see us playing here. The next update for the game is scheduled next week, on February 27, which adds a quest to prepare players for the second and final expansion, The Curse of the Pharaohs, on March 6.
