The Witcher 3's New Game Plus Is Out This Week on PS4

One more time

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt PS4 PlayStation 4 1

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's final piece of downloadable content, New Game Plus, will finally hit the PlayStation Store this week. Downloading the add-on will, unsurprisingly, allow you to start a new save while carrying over all of your skills and equipment.

The product description on the Xbox store – where it's already available – mentions better loot and tougher enemies, so we hope that you're ready for another one hundred hours of life in Geralt's no doubt sweaty boots.

Will you be making use of New Game Plus, or are you still slogging through your first run? Gulp some potions and slay some beasts in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Can't wait to play this again, for sure the best PS4 release thus far (and not that over-hyped, over-rated, critical darling called Journey).

Getting things back on topic - I'm dawdling around the end of the first act of the story mopping up contracts and treasure quests and yet seem to have ploughed countless hours into the game so far. So I guess I won't really be utilising new game plus for a while yet...

The key to the Witcher 3 is just to play at a leisurely pace why keeping the main story going, do two or so secondary quests or contracts before returning to the main quest.....you shouldn't burden your experience by trying to do everything, as you can still do 90 percent of what you missed once you completed the game.

I will get to this...eventually. I've made up my mind that I'm buying metal gear day one and I don't want to start this until probably next year after I've also beaten fallout.

It'll be a looooooong time before I need to utilise this. I am, I think, about half way through the Novigrad story missions in Act 1, haven't been to Skellige or anything yet. And with MGSV out in 2 weeks, I can see myself not finishing the Witcher until the end of the year! Fallout 4, see you in 2017...

Yes! I've been waiting for this to come out before I finished the main story! I'll slog through whatever contracts I've leveled up enough to do, side missions as well, clean the map up a little more of all the question mark locations, finish the main story and start again! With Metal Gear Solid 5 just right around the corner, there's a good chance I won't play much again until the expansion(s) come out though.
