Nioh 2 is a really interesting one when it comes to its New Game Plus offering because not only do you get to retain your items, gear, kodamas and soul cores in preparation for taking on tougher enemies, you’re really going to need them.

That’s because Nioh 2 doesn’t just give enemies more health and damage dealing capabilities in its New Game Plus modes, it goes significantly deeper.

To address the elephant in the room first, yes, I did say New Game Plus modes. As in plural. Nioh 2 has four of them, each making a variety of changes to the game world to make things significantly more different and difficult for you. These range from bosses gaining new attacks to modified enemy movesets, new mechanics, and switching out regular enemies for DLC enemies in main story missions which is about as tension-inducing as it sounds. There are also new Grace set bonuses enabling you to try out entirely new playstyles.

If you can make it all the way through you’ll get access to The Underworld endgame content that consists of over 100 floors to fight your way through.
