Ghost of Tsushima isn't a short game, but it has been out a whole week and some players have already polished it off. And as you'd expect of a quality release, a lot of fans want more. Sadly, Sucker Punch's open world epic doesn't come equipped with a New Game + mode -- a way to restart the story with all of your gear and abilities intact. You can continue playing after the credits have rolled, but you'll get to a point where you've visited every map marker and completed every side quest. Beyond that, there's not much more to see -- especially if you've maxed out Jin's legend rank and unlocked all of his skills.
You can always start up a new save and go through the adventure again, but it's a shame that there's no way to go straight back into the title's excellent story missions with everything that you've learned. And with that in mind, fans have taken to Reddit and Twitter in order to let Sucker Punch know that New Game + would be much appreciated.
There's been no word from the developer on specific post-launch support for Ghost of Tsushima, but it's obviously early days. For the sake of context, God of War's New Game + mode was added in an update that arrived four months after its release. The bottom line is that we're just going to have to wait and see what Sucker Punch has up its sleeve.

Will use that for PS5, with hopefully a resolution boost.
I'm not sure I'd play it again, the problem is I felt too overpowered about halfway through, making the countless bandit camps and most of the missions slightly trivial. I enjoyed playing through it but I'd had enough of the box ticking before the end. I wish there was more story if anything as ignoring the side stuff it seemed really short
Ahh yes, the entitled gamer, what would we do without you?
I wouldn't say no to it, but I was planning a new play through anyway if there's a PS5 patch.
For now, I'm still on Act 1. So much to see.
Can we fully upgrade jin in one playthrough? I don't think we need new game plus if we already can fully upgrade jin, but if people want new game plus and sucker punch can add it, I see nothing wrong with adding that feature.
I do hope we can replay it with 4k and 60 fps on ps5 though
@wiiware I've got a few side quests, bandit camps and various other activities left over but have everything fully upgraded. It even got to the point where the game wasn't even letting me pick up bamboo because I had too much and no use for it.
NG+ wouldn't go amiss as I'll definitely be playing through it again at some point. Would love some DLC too, taking the game to the invasion of Iki.
@carlos82 Yeah, unlike linear game, usually in open world games we can fully upgrade our characters so most people rather play the games until their bored and finish it rather than replaying the games I think.
I really didn't want to play ghost of tsushima story with over powered jin but the world in this game is so beautifull, I want to explore it leisurely rather than finishing the story.
Deadzone slider first please! My left stick is fine with every other game I have, but the zero deadzone on ghost of Tsushima is spoiling the game for me and a lot of other people, even some who have recently bought new controllers.
Ghost of sushi bear! I've cleared out the first island 100%, starting on the second today..
Wow, new game + already? Let's be happy with what we have. Honestly do people really enjoy the game when they fly through it in a week? Or is it a thing of never being satisfied and moving on to the next new thing.
This game is absolutely fantastic but I've never ever bothered with a New Game Plus and I won't with this one either.Why play through it all over again when I have a huge backlog waiting.?
Besides,I'm still on first island after 13 hours and so loads still to do.
It shouldn't even need to be in an update. Post-release support is great, but it should fix mistakes, not add features in that people aren't very likely to need in the first week. New-game plus in standard for both the industry and and even more so Sony exclusives. Games should be launching with them. Some options for how much to carry over would also be great. A way to keep that exploration loop the first one has while still carrying over your stuff.
Been playing a ton and only in act 2. I refuse to move on till everything is checked off. Great game!
I dont know why people rush through games, thats why i dont like mp. Everyone is rush rush rush. Im takin my damn time, taking in the sights. Its soo damn beautiful
How are people done with this game already?! I’ve been playing like 4 hours a day since it came out and I’m still only in act one, there’s just so much to do!
It’d be neat if they added it by the time I got around to buying it next month, but that’s probably a low possibility haha.
I hate this *****. Spiderman, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima fail to have NG+ at launch. Why is it that From Soft manages to add in a NG+ feature in their games at launch but not someone like Suckerpunch, Santa Monica Studios, and Insomniac? It's so dumb and makes no sense.
@Bliquid It makes no sense...
@popey1980 how is it entitled to request a common and popular feature?
@oldschool1987 just ignore the obvious troll.
I’m 100% through the first island now, I’m in no rush, it’s simultaneously a very peaceful and action packed game. Would love a NG+ though with remixed enemies and maybe some extra places to liberate!
@Nepp67 design choices or running out of time at crunch. I’m all for ng+ when it’s done right it’s amazing, like in Nioh.
It is annoying though when games that would benefit from it don’t have it. One of the recent Far Cry games didn’t have one which was just lazy
@Arnna I suppose that makes sense. Although I'm curious how they are going to do the NG+(Or even add in a new difficulty setting). Just because of the fact that they want the katana to be "sharp" as in not take so many hits to kill a single enemy or you unless it's a boss.
People are actually complaining on this forum on people wanting NG Plus? What's wrong with you guys? It ups the want for replayability. Gets more attention and money for the game developers to make more content and possibly a sequel. There's nothing but positives for it. And those saying Jin will be overpowered. You guys havent understood what NG Plus does on some games. It evens the score with what you attained by making the opponents harder.
Yes that would be nice to have new games+
I'd love a new game+ i beat the main storyline a couple days ago
Easily one of the best games made for PS4. Only if it had the same level of brutality as Last of us 2. It would of been far superior to any of it's predecessors. Imagine if after the swing of the sword you left your opponents headless or with their limbs scattered about. I loved this game but if it had the kind of work Naughty Dog put into gore, no game could come close.
I hope they troll us and just add ng+ for haiku, only. Nothing else carries over, just that, but now you can recreate more of them.
@bbauer36 100% agreed and well said. People who finish this kind of game in less than a week a) Don’t have a life and b) Probably don’t shower either.
It's been a week... I'm playing it on hard and taking my time enjoying every bit of it. Before grinding gamers ask for crumbs, they should just be thankful for the cookie they were given.
I'm curious to how NG+ would work in this due to how upgrades are learnt, the game treats many upgrades and armours as rewards and incentives so having all that stuff unlocked from the off would mean unless you want to have that fight again there's little reason in doing anything outside of the story missions again.
@Skittlz played through it twice and yes I shower
@bbauer36 it was all I played for 5 days and I still had obligations of things to do and finished everything. It’s the only game I also took screenshots for on my PS4. So I took my time which is quick and enjoyed the view.
To be honest I don't think I'd play through again + mode or no. It's a very good game and I'm loving every second of it, taking my time because I don't want it to end but when it does that's it, short of DLC there not much chance of me returning
I'd like to say they will eventually do that. I think pretty much all of the PS4 exclusives have gave in to NG+ eventually to keep people playing their game. God of War and I think Days Gone didn't have it at first, so heres to keeping our fingers crossed! This game is so much fun.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L I can relate to that. Its always about the trophies for me haha, Probably why I haven't played GoW again but I could still play through it and just get all the other crap I missed I guess.
@wiiware Yes, you can max him out , but that doesn't mean that you throw NG+ out of the window. For example, I maxed out Spider-Man on my first playthrough, but I still played NG+... More than a few times, mind you...
