Completing Dead Island 2 may not satisfy all players. Like myself, you might feel inclined to commence a new journey in New Game Plus to attain any remaining achievements.
In many games, New Game Plus becomes accessible after finishing the main storyline. Typically, the option appears on the main menu, allowing players to initiate a new playthrough as a fresh save. However, this wasn’t the case in Dead Island 2; the New Game Plus option was conspicuously absent upon completing the game.
Naturally, players who completed Dead Island 2’s campaign likely explored the main menu. The absence of a New Game Plus button led players to ponder whether there was a specific challenge required to unlock the game mode. However, it seemed to be an unattainable goal.
Is there a New Game Plus mode?
No, Dead Island 2 does not feature a New Game Plus mode. If you wish to continue playing, you’ll need to start a new save. Keep in mind that starting anew means you won’t carry over your weapons and upgrades, starting your journey from scratch.
Will Dead Island 2 get a New Game Plus mode in the future?
While there hasn’t been any official confirmation regarding a New Game Plus mode in Dead Island 2, there’s still a possibility that the feature may be introduced later on. With the upcoming DLC, Sola Festival, slated for release in 2024, it could serve as the opportune moment to introduce New Game Plus, providing players with another reason to revisit the game.
If you were looking forward to embarking on a new adventure after reaching the maximum level in Dead Island 2, the absence of New Game Plus might be disappointing. Nevertheless, the lack of this feature does not detract from the captivating gameplay experience offered by the game. The Dead Island franchise has been known to overlook certain key features, such as split-screen multiplayer.
