9 Video Game Secrets Hidden In New Game Plus

4. Zenkichi From The Jump - Persona 5 Strikers

While Persona 5 Strikers hurts my little Persona 5 Royal obsessed heart since the story pretends it didn't happen but there’s more than enough to love in Strikers.

From some excellent new characters to plenty of brand new systems, it might still be more of a companion to the main experience but it’s still well worth playing. That extends through to the New Game Plus mode where you’ll not only get all the goodies you expect like retaining your items, money, equipment, Persona Compendium, bond levels and so on, but there's another special thing you’ll get extra early access to which really makes it worth playing through again.

This is the bit where I have to do a little bit of a spoiler so if you really don’t want to know one of the coolest reveals in Strikers I’ll meet you over at number 3.

In the original run of the game you’ll spend a lot of time with police detective Zenkichi Hasagawa. He’s an entertaining dude with a lovely backstory but its not until almost the end of the game after the fifth jail, which is essentially a dungeon, that he actually becomes playable. It’s here that the New Game Plus mode absolutely delivers as it lets you play as Zenkichi from the beginning which is a big deal since his persona is pretty damn powerful and also we love him.
