Does Lies of P Feature a New Game Plus?

Gamers progressing through Lies of P should anticipate dedicating roughly 30 to 50 hours to the game before they reach its conclusion. This duration has prompted inquiries among players regarding potential additional content after completing the main storyline, particularly regarding the inclusion of a New Game Plus feature, a beloved element commonly found in soul-like games.

If you share these questions and are interested in understanding what Lies of P offers upon purchasing and completing the game, you've come to the right place. In the forthcoming article, we will delve into the highly anticipated subject of whether Lies of P incorporates a New Game Plus mechanic into its dark and intricately crafted soul-like adventure.

Is There a New Game Plus System in Lies of P? 

To address this question directly, yes, Lies of P indeed incorporates a New Game Plus system, much like its relatives, the SoulsBorne titles. New Game Plus, often abbreviated as NG+, for Lies of P, is an unlockable game feature that allows players to embark on a new playthrough after meeting the requirement of completing the main campaign at least once.

In most cases, engaging in New Game Plus enables players to commence the main storyline from the beginning while retaining certain elements acquired during their initial playthrough. These retained elements typically include player level, unlocked skills, discovered items, resources, equipment, and more.

However, not all significant components of the game will carry over, such as Key Items that are crucial for specific points in the game. While our game completion status is still pending, we anticipate that this feature serves not only to emphasize the game's multiple endings (as confirmed by the developer) but also offers players an opportunity to experiment with various weapons and items they may not have tried during their initial playthrough.

One aspect we have yet to confirm is the increase in difficulty in New Game Plus. If you've played any of the Souls-like games before, you're likely aware that advancing into New Game Plus and subsequent iterations, such as NG2 and NG3, typically results in more robust enemies, as well as increased rewards like Souls.

We anticipate that the New Game Plus modes in Lies of P will operate similarly, with enemy strength, health, and the Ergo currency drops all seeing an increase. This aligns with the fact that your player character will also have attained a higher level and should be capable of handling the increased challenge.

Of course, this is merely speculation, and while it's highly plausible, we recommend taking this information with a grain of caution until we can complete the game and thoroughly assess the differences between the base game and New Game Plus. 

So, there you have it, a brief glimpse of the New Game Plus system set to feature in Lies of P, as well as our preliminary expectations for how it may function when the game officially releases on September 19th.
