Is there New Game Plus in Dead Island 2?

If you've beaten Dead Island 2, you may wonder whether you can carry over some of your progress into a new run, and if so, what exactly carries over. Here's what you need to know about New Game Plus in Dead Island 2.

Does Dead Island 2 have New Game Plus?

Unfortunately no, Dead Island 2 does not have New Game Plus. This means that once you finish the game, you'll be starting over from the beginning with nothing carrying over from your previous save if you choose to start a new run.

Do you have to start over once Dead Island 2's story ends?

Despite there being no New Game Plus, the game doesn't automatically end once you've beaten all of Dead Island 2's main missions. Instead, you're given the option to free-roam the map and tidy up any of the side content you've missed, including the 33 side quests in Dead Island 2.

Will Dead Island 2 get New Game Plus?

Just because Dead Island 2 doesn't have a New Game Plus mode right now, it doesn't mean it won't ever get one. The developers haven't said anything about one coming in the future, but other video games, like God of War Ragnarok, received New Game Plus a few months after launch after fans heavily requested the mode, so if the demand for it is there for Dead Island 2, we could potentially see it added in.
