Ghost of Yotei adds New Game+ and Balanced graphic mode in latest major patch

Ghost of Yotei has finally added a New Game+ to the game, as well as a Balanced graphics mode that targets a 40FPS, aiming for a middle ground between the game’s quality graphic preset and performance preset.

The addition of New Game+ gives players another chance to go through the game’s story, but this time with the weapons, charms and everything else that they have gathered during their first playthrough.

The developers are also adding the ability to replay content, such as the camps and duels. A New Game Plus Vendor is also being added to the game, who will sell items in exchange for a new currency called the Ghost Flowers.

The addition of New Game+ to Ghost of Yotei has been a centerpiece in a thread on Reddit, with players being divided on whether the game mode should be included in the game at launch or post-launch.
