Assassin’s Creed Origins adds New Game+ mode

It looks like the Assassin’s Creed franchise is going to start 2018 off strong, with the newly released The Hidden One DLC for Assassin’s Creed Origins. In addition, they also said that Assassin’s Creed Rogue is also being remastered and will be released in March. If that’s not enough for hardcore fans, then ACO will continue to release a New Game + mode.

Redditor BeeKaying put a pretty simple sentence on Reddit:

[penci_blockquote style=”style-2″ align=”none” author=”” font_style=”italic”]“We got the Hidden Ones DLC, and it’s great. However, the community has been wanting New Game+ for a while now, and the developer says they’re considering it. So is there any progress or news on New Game+ capabilities? Or is it still “under consideration?[/penci_blockquote]

BeeKaying probably didn’t expect to get an official answer, but the unexpected happened. Community manager on Reddit page Assassin’s Creed Origins briefly replied, “New Game+ coming soon. We will share more information soon.” While the specifics are not talked about, this is probably interesting news for those who want to rediscover Egypt.

Needless to say, the community responded enthusiastically to the community manager’s statement. Some have suggested that Ubisoft might charge a fee for the New Game+ mode, but keep in mind that similar updates like Nightmare and Horde modes are completely free to upgrade. While that’s just a guess, it’s completely understandable if Ubisoft followed that business model when introducing this mode, but when it will launch is still a mystery.

Let’s hope 2018 continues to be a strong year for the franchise, as the second Assassin’s Creed Origins DLC titled The Curse of the Pharaohs will be released soon. By then, perhaps there will be some confirmation of the much-anticipated New Game+ mode. However, until that point, Assassin’s Creed Origins still has a lot for us to play, like defending Sinai against the Romans in The Hiddens Ones DLC.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
