Is there a NG+ or some-kind?
Hi just started the game a little and was curious what happens when you get to the end if there is one.

I do not believe there will be one, but I can't really see this one needing a NG+. Right now you can only play through the first act. September 14th the rest of the game will be released and we'll definitly know then!

There is no NG+. When you get to the end of the act in EA, the game returns to the main menu; with the full release it will do the same, after the credits.

There's probably enough content to not need a NG+
However there's probably difficulty for a second game as well as replayability.

Well, with modding tools being released with the game, there will eventually be fan made adventures. Though do note that game does not support character transfer so you will always have to start any new game from scratch.

If you enjoy the combat aspect, the PvP Arena mode will provide infinite replayability and challenges. I really can't wait to see the complete features of the Arena.

What a shame. I personally would have liked to explore world with same character without eguiment but with skills only agains and try different options. As game gives so mush options with ability to play same game agains with little bit power fantasy was something i hoped for. As im more of single player people who dosent like arena games.

Personally would have given last game max score if it had NG+.

The issue with that is that it would require significant changes and balancing. The game wasn't designed to be replayed with everything just scaled up. For example, in later acts you get the ability to see and speak to ghosts. When freed, the Winter Dragon Slane says the island is full of ghosts, so repeating act 1 with end game characters would mean a lot of extra characters added, as well as ghost versions of existing NPCs, and then additions to quests so that speaking to ghosts can be useful in some circumstances, etc. High level skills could significantly affect the design of act 1 combat, as well.

True. But remove quest spells but let normals spells be and difficulty is not really major issue as NG+ is ment to be like your morepowerfull than typically simply for exploration and doing silly stuff. For sample NG+ in metal gear series had invisibility item and did devs back then think this was op. No it was more of reward and now go do more silly stuff with extra benefits. Also dishonored 2 also let you NG+ and it wasnt balanced. From wiki -->

A New Game Plus (or New Game+, often abbreviated as NG+) is an unlockable video game mode available in some video games that allows the player to start a new game after they finish it at least once, where certain features in NG+ not normally available in a first playthrough are added, and where certain aspects of the finished game affect the newly started game, such as keeping in the new game items or experience gained in the first playthrough. New Game Plus is also known as "replay mode", "remorting", "challenge mode", or "New Game Ex". The genre where they are most prevalent is role-playing games.

Also people who complain this simply dont allow NG+ characters in your game and if you want challenge like your speed runner etc. You can always delete your save or start completly new. But lack of this fine mod would simply neglate only NG+ playesrs while not harming normal hardcore ones.

But i understand if there is major issues making this so i respect your choices. Im sure some modder will find solution for NG+.
