Techland will patch a New Game+ mode into Dying Light 2 at the end of April as part of the game's third update. Details as to what will carry over haven't been shared, but it's assumed your gear, skills, and level will all be accessible from the start of a second playthrough. Also included in the patch will be "many fixes" for single player and multiplayer content.
As long as your health and stamina upgrades carry over too, this should make unlocking the Platinum Trophy slightly easier. As detailed in our Dying Light 2 Trophy guide, you need Inhibitors to boost your stat points, but there aren't enough of them in the game to fully upgrade your health and stamina to unlock the associated Trophies.
This could be circumvented by never using any of them and manipulating save data to upgrade one after the other, but it meant playing the game without spending them naturally. With New Game+ soon to be available, you could at least now spend them on whatever you like and know you can collect the rest in a second run. That is if the mode works like that, of course.

At least it's a more fun way to get to the 960km for that trophy.
I wasted 56 hours rubber-banding for that one.
This was such a disappointment. The first Dying Light was awesome but this was very meh. I couldn't even face finishing it.
@Smash41 it was decent early on but when I reached the 30hr my character was op the game from then on was far too easy.
Also I didn't find the exploration very engaging compared to the first game. This first felt more open this felt more like an ubisoft game were I was just checking a list.
Still nothing about cross-gen co-op? Pre-ordered but haven’t touched bc my partner is on PS4 still…
2022 where we have to wait for something as simple as an ng+ that we've had at launch way before in an update. Meanwhile in Fromsoft games.
@Lonejester Same. I’m waiting to play through it with my brother and his girlfriend. We all did the tutorial and were ready to go, until I tried to join their game and it wouldn’t let me.
@Nepp67 they deliberately patch that in later so people have a reason to reinstall a game they were previously done with.
I'm patient with this one, we all know how much dying light versions there was after release
@Flurpsel games today are close to 50+ hours who would have time to play like that over again, I have backlogs and a life, don't have time for that, this new game plus fad is stupid tbh
Once I'm done with a game that's it, move onto the next
@Anke likewise, hence my post
@Smash41 what didn't you like about it 🤔🤔 compared to the original?
@darksoul77 I can understand it feelinh more like a Ubisoft checklist(with the terrible UI amd everything) but how did the first one feel more open? The second feels way more open.
@Flurpsel It certainly seems to be the case. God of War 4, Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, and now DL2. A game like Persona 5 has had it in at launch.
@Nepp67 I guess the roughness of level design in the first one (probably due to their inexperience at the time) felt more organic like real world. Compare that to the windmills and the sky scrapers in the second you can look up and see every path clearly laid out for you almost like paint by numbers.
I never had the feeling of height or making those hail Mary jumps in the second game like I did in the first.
Actually finished this last night. Thought the end boss fight was pretty terrible - is that the best they could come up with in all the years it was in development?
New game plus will be welcome, and there's still plenty of bugs that need fixing.
Quick access to map might be an idea. Also, the way the game hangs on each menu tab when trying to get there is "dag nasty dawg"
@MatthewJP glad I'm not the only one disappointed by the final boss fight. It was very tedious to me and didn't have a satisfying conclusion.
@darksoul77 Funny thing about that first one is that they were trying to go for a more organic look in that first reveal trailer and then they basically ruined it by making everything super vibrant
Not sure I have another 500 hours to give it…
@Nepp67 yeah I don't like the new colour scheme. Also is it me or was there more zombies about in the first than the second.
@darksoul77 I've seen more compared to the first and especially around the military loot areas. Unless you're talking about the story where they make it about the humans instead of zombies(Tell me you haven't heard that one before....)
