New game + and DLC

[Jasoba]

I just finish the game, and had a chat with a friend, that we are missing New Game+
Do you think there is a chance that we will get that options with the first DLC?

It says Spring for Hardcore so I assume April unfortunately, I'm waiting for this to start a new game.

Could you please explain what is "New Game +"? I have been playing videogames for 25 years and never met the one definition of the notion. Everyone understands it in their own way) I think that there's is New Game + - in KCD1 and 2 - after you know all game mechanics and gameplay tropes, you could play a second time more role-playing and immersive.

It is generally understood that "New Game+" means playing the game through from the start again but with carry-over of some kind from your prior playthrough. There is some variation on how this works depending on the game but many titles allow the player to start a new game/save with all the skills, abilities, and even (sometimes) the items and equipment they had from a prior playthrough.

This is a pretty common thing but it isn't in every game and sometimes developers don't implement it because it doesn't make sense for the game's mechanics. In general. I feel that this game wouldn't exactly benefit from a New Game+ but that is just my individual opinion on the matter.

With New Game + I'd be able to wipe out the bandits at the beginning of the game and destroy Sigismund's army before they ever got a foothold at Nebokov. ;)

Not generally, but I understand your definition. Than answer to your question is "no" - after all Warhorse stripped us even from our progress and items in KCD1 (despite most of the assets being the same), hence I don't think that they would implement something you described in the game. After all - nothing similar was not implemented in KCD1.

I never stated that you're wrong) Just that I've never seen any general definition in my life)

Considering the fact that new game+ wasn't even in KCD 1, I'm doubtful it would be in KCD 2. I'd love to have NG+ as well, but it just seems unlikely; even some of the more popular rpgs like Cyberpunk or Skyrim don't have NG+ as well.

I don't think there will be a new game plus on this game, it's part of the plot to lose everything you have. You'd still keep your perks and such, if that's what you mean, I guess it's possible but not very likely. The 1st game didn't have it (at least when I played)
