Horizon Forbidden West: Does it have New Game Plus?


Horizon Forbidden West is a pretty huge game. Taking anywhere between 20 to 100 hours to really complete, players will surely be playing this game for years. This being said, besides a DLC and hard mode, there are a few ways to extend your play time. New Game Plus lets you free in the same world again with a higher level cap and some brand new gear. If you're looking to play Horizon Forbidden West for a second time with New Game Pass, this is what you need to know.

Does Horizon Forbidden West have New Game Plus?

As of launch, Horizon Forbidden West does not have New Game Plus. If you want to relive certain moments, you will have to play the entire game from scratch or load up an older save

You can make multiple saves by visiting any campfire. Make sure sure to have a few on the go. This is a good practice not only to replay certain sections but to make certain choices again. If you want to see quests play out slightly differently, this is a good way of doing so.

Will it come post-launch?

All hope is not lost, especially if we look at how Horizon Zero Dawn's post-launch plans turned out. Not only did they bring out some small bug fixes and an ultra-hard mode, but they also added New Game Plus with unique trophies and some added extras. It seems likely that the same thing will happen for Horizon Forbidden West.

It was a free update to the game and it was automatically included in the physical complete edition. If you care about New Game Plus and can wait a little longer, it seems likely we will see it soon. If you can't wait, maybe it's time for a second playthrough.
