The “new game plus” mode in Dishonored 2 represents a game mode unlocked after the initial completion of the main story. It allows players to restart the campaign while retaining previously acquired abilities, bone charms, blueprints, and collected runes from their prior playthrough. This carries over significant character progression from the first playthrough. For example, a player might begin a new campaign with Blink level 2, Dark Vision, and several powerful bone charms collected during their initial playthrough.
This mode provides players with enhanced replayability. The benefits are multifaceted. It allows for exploration of different gameplay styles and choices, creating opportunities to engage in missions with alternative strategies due to starting with an already powerful character. It also allows experiencing the story with different characters and moral choices. Historically, this feature extends the game’s lifespan and player engagement, as they’re able to explore different choices with an already upgraded character.
