Gamers who are enjoying the super popular game, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," are going to get a treat when the New Game Plus mode launches. And even though there is no concrete date yet for the launch, news of its impending arrival has already thrown fans into a tizzy.

The New Game Plus mode is going to cap off the string of free DLCs that have been released for the game, and it is, as the developer CD Projekt RED promised, going to bring massive changes.

When news that there would be no DLC to be released this week was announced, fans were puzzled as they all know that there is one more free DLC left. But the developer immediately made it clear that the New Game Plus mode was the final installment.

As fans started clamoring for details about the mode, more information about it was released via CD Projekt RED's forums managed by Marcin Momot, the Community Lead for the game. He shared that once the DLC is downloaded, as expected, the enemies in the game will become far stronger than before. This means that players will be faced with more challenges in completing the quests.

Momot also stated in the forum post that players who have already progressed to level 30 will have the same level in the NG mode. As for those who have not reached level 30 yet, their experience will be elevated to the level as they enter the new mode.

Players will also get to choose which difficulty level they want to play once they enter the mode.

Furthermore, putting an end to the rampant speculations regarding what items would be carried over from the original game to the NG mode, Momot said that gamers will get access to all their money and alchemy recipes. However, they will not be able to carry over Gwent cards which have become a big favorite among fans.

In addition, quest and other miscellaneous items such as letters and books are also not allowed in the New Game Plus mode.
