In our post about Stellar Blade’s day one update, we mentioned that New Game+ has been added for players when it officially releases tomorrow, April 26. Shift Up has now expanded on the info on what Stellar Blade’s New Game Plus houses and it’s more than just carrying over your old items from your previous playthrough and whatnot.
Stellar Blade New Game Plus – Here’s What You Can Expect:
Highlights:
- New skills
- New and harder difficulties
- Gear level expansions
- 34 new outfits, five new additional accessories and two cosmetics each for Adam, Lily and the Drone.
- Enemy placements changes
Read on for more details on New Game+’s additions.
Expanded Outfits & Wardrobe:
In New Game Plus, players will be able to acquire new costumes and accessories not only for Eve, but for Adam, Lily and the Drone, too.
Players can try re-opening the chests they previously got costumes or revisit the shops that sell them. Players might also want to replay quests to earn costumes that they missed in their first playthrough.
There is a New Game Plus-exclusive outfit called the “Crew” style:
Level Expansion for Eve’s Gear
Level expansion for Weapon, Body Core, Beta Core and Tumbler:
- Weapon – 15 -> 40
- Body – 6 -> 9
- Beta – 6 -> 9
- Tumbler – 5 -> 13
- Remaining cores could be sold at SP0-tt2r’s shop to acquire Vitcoin, which could be used to purchase new costume items.
In New Game Plus, in addition to continuing your progression, you’ll be able to collect Cores to power up Eve’s weapons, HP, and Beta Energy even more than in the base game.
You can also further enhance your Tumbler, increasing the amount of HP it heals at once.
You can also upgrade your Drone to increase the power of your ranged attacks.
After you’ve completed all of your upgrades, you can sell the Core items you earn to SP0-tt2r to purchase new costumes
New Skills Added
In New Game Plus, you’ll be able to earn Infinite skills that are enhancements to existing Beta Skills.
- 4 new Beta skill moves
- 8 new skills to enhance Beta/Burst skills
- 5 new Drone skills
Beta Skill: Infinite Slash
Infinite Pierce, an enhancement to Quadruplet, lets you unleash a devastating blow to enemies.
Beta Skill: Infinite Pierce
Or you can shred the enemy’s shields with Infinite Breaker.
Beta Skill: Infinite Breaker
Not only Beta Skills can be enhanced, but Burst Skills as well, so defeat the enemies and earn SP (Skill Points) to unlock them all.
More Changes in New Game Plus:
- Eve’s gears and Exospine will also receive new enhancements.
- These Mk2 enhancements to existing gear will allow players to personalize their approach to the game.
- You can also enhance your shield penetration to ignore enemy shields.
- If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stronger enemies, we recommend collecting and combining Mk2 gear.
- Also, in keeping with Eve’s evolution, enemies on harder difficulties are stronger.
- Enemies may also be repositioned in New Game Plus, so keep your guard up
That’s about it. Thankfully, gamer will be getting this on day one, so there’s no waiting to get these new stuff.
