Beast of Reincarnation New Game Plus — What Carries Over

What Carries Over

Game8 additionally lists Stimpacks, Manuals & Recipes, Valuables and crafting Materials as carrying over ⚠ single source. Nerds Chalk notes the in-game rules never spell out consumables or ammo — if an edge case matters to you, spend or stock before starting the second run.

Reincarnation+ Difficulty

Finishing the story unlocks Reincarnation+, where enemy attack power increases with each successive NG+ loop. Combined with your carried build, the second run plays much faster — PowerPyx’s roadmap treats a full NG+ clear as the second half of the ~60-hour platinum (see trophy guide).

Too easy? Harder NG+ options are now officially planned (September 8, 2026). For a month the honest answer to “will NG+ get harder” was that no official list mentioned it. Patch 1.0.11 changed that: its planned-changes list opens with “Adding increased difficulty options for New Game+”, right after a new difficulty mode above Hard for the base game, and Game Freak’s community representative confirmed in the Steam forums that “new difficulty options for NG+” are in the works. What the options are, and when they arrive, is unstated — the Reincarnation+ rule above is still the only NG+ scaling that exists today. Track it on the patch notes page.

Update, September 17, 2026 — patch 1.0.12 shipped without it. The sixth patch carries both difficulty items over unchanged on its planned list (“Adding a higher difficulty mode for NEW GAME+”), still with no name or date. Two things in 1.0.12 do touch NG+ directly. One is small and already live: “Previously viewed Tips will no longer display from New Game+ onwards” — the tutorial pop-ups you saw on the first run stop reappearing. The other is a new plan, not a feature yet: an option, after clearing the Great Wall Terraces, to bypass the Pilgrim’s, Matsukawa Colony and Fuji Frontier zones or play them normally — Game Freak says outright this is meant to let “New Game+ players progress more quickly through the game”. Details and timing “will be announced once finalized”; see the patch notes page.

NG+ Exclusive Rewards

• A new Blade Art tied to the final boss — Game8 names it Blossoms of Reincarnation, a high-damage area attack ⚠ single source for the name.
• The Kanzashi sword — NG+ exclusive (listed in our weapons guide).
• Robes of Reincarnation — armor that slowly regenerates HP.

Are There Missables?

No. After the credits you can free-roam to mop up all 323 collectibles, strongboxes and elite hunts, and no trophy is missable. You never need to plan a playthrough around fear of locking yourself out — NG+ is for the Reincarnated trophy and the exclusive rewards, not for second chances.

Open Questions

Whether enemy levels and drop tables shift in NG+ beyond the attack scaling, and whether rewards stack across multiple loops, hasn’t been documented yet. We’ll expand this page as post-game data firms up.

Starting NG+ a second time. A player who finished NG+ asked on the Steam forum how to start plain NG+ again rather than NG++, and after a month the only answer is from another player: the loop you are offered depends on which clear save you load — a normal-run clear starts NG+, an NG+ clear starts NG++ from the title screen — so once the original clear is overwritten, NG+ is gone ⚠ one player’s account, no official reply between August 19 and September 21. If you care about replaying NG+ specifically, save your first clear to a slot you never overwrite.
