The news surrounding Infinite Wealth’s New Game+ has swept the internet, with people unsure whether they should dive in or not. 

If you don’t know whether New Game+ is for you, then read on to find out exactly what starting a new playthrough will get you.

How to start New New Game+ in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Infinite Wealth’s New Game+ caused controversy after the developers revealed that it wouldn’t be included as part of the base game. Players will have to purchase either the Deluxe Edition or Ultimate Edition if they want to dive into a whole new playthrough.

If you want to play New Game+, you must first have a completed save file on your system. You can then choose New Game+ from the title menu, and you will begin your new playthrough.

What carries over into Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth New Game+?

Most things carry over from your normal playthrough, such as levels, gear, and items for all party members. However, you will not be able to use all party members from the start, and they will be added along with the story beats. We didn’t complete a New Game+ playthrough, but when you start, it says that some substories won’t be carried over.

New Game+ offers three difficulty modes, Normal, Hard, and Legend, that can be changed at any time during your playthrough. Normal keeps all of the enemy levels the same, meaning that they will start out at levels 1 and 2. New Game+ is for hardcore fans of the series only, as the regular post-game content is how most fans will get the most out of the game. New Game+ feels more focused, and players who want to blast through the game to see the story again without worrying about difficult fights.
