Despite a few slight launch stumbles that we covered here, Dishonored 2 has really been raising the bar for what it means to support a game post launch.  Updates and patches have already fixed many of the initial problems and today, December 19, 2016, Bethesda brings players an update that not only ads depth and gameplay, but is also completely free. Get ready to cause a whole lot more mayhem in Dishonored 2, because new game plus is now available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

New game plus is a mechanic that is becoming more common in games lately, and usually means that once you finish a play through, you can start over at the beginning of the story, but retain all the gear and levels you collected in your first go. Generally, enemies will be tougher and you can make different story decisions in NG+ but Dishonored goes further than that. Whether you chose to play as Emily or Corvo, the game’s two protagonists, NG+ will start you back at the beginning of the game with access to all the abilities of both characters! Having access to all the skills from both uniquely playing characters can dramatically reshape your second journey through the world.
