New Game Plus?

[PerfectPencil]

Put in my 40 hours. Finished the campaign and all extras. I thought i'd play again but oh my god does it hurt having to level up weapons again. I just want to replay the whole thing with my full load out. I see its not there, but has a dev ever said it could be added in the future? I'm not interested in multiplayer, personally. Community levels would be a dream, but I doubt there is any hint of a level editor ever hitting the scene. So... any word on new game plus?

you can do that with the ng+ randomizer mod.

to OP space is got the right idea.

the randomizer mod works wonders i suggest using the balance version first
you won't have to sit by for the stupid "cut scene" parts in game showing u where to go. never taken out of the action

just start from a saved file and click on hell on earth but it's pointless to play like this tbh

Until they finish all the master levels in a decade or so hopefully, mods are your best bet for now.

The game already allows you to replay any level on a finished save. So just replay them in order.

Hell on Earth with a fully upgraded slayer? No fun in that. A proper New Game Plus would be more like a Master Level Campaign. Which will likely never happen.

The real Doom Eternal doesn't really begin until you get to Super Gore Nest. Waves of zombies and imps with heavy demons trickling into the arenas is not fun with a Slayer powerful enough to literally 1v1 god. The game is only the most fun and replayable when it makes you think and overcome, not steamroll.

That's why master levels should have been prioritized more IMO before release. Having all of them get made would be a proper NG+ IMO, but covid forced them to prioritize the season pass content anyway post-launch was not expected. Sadly, one of the level designers leaving id (responsible for lots of encounters we love) doesn't sound promising for the rate they are going to be able to make master levels either, if they ever intended on doing all of them. Hugo hasn't talked about anything beyond the Taras Nabad level (made by the aformentioned designer that just left id if I recall), and TAG2 master levels with the hammer.

Finished master levels or not, as in Doom tradition mods will keep pushing the game and engine to its limits. Eternal has created a combat loop that can be enjoyed for hundreds of hours that could probably go into thousands if you made creative enough levels. It will be harnessed by modding even after id moves on to their next game.
