Hello Immortals!
Today we will continue to discuss some of the features for the upcoming New Game+. This time we will focus on armor upgrades & weapons in NG+. But first, a small clarification from last time: We were asked whether you will be able to reset the world state after finishing NG++++ and while we originally didn’t plan to, we decided that there wasn’t any reason not to. So, when we release NG+, you can restart as many times as you wish after you finish the 4th extra run, even though the difficulty won’t increase.
Alright onto armor upgrades! Whenever you start a new run in Immortal: Unchained all the shrines in the world reset back to their unclaimed state. This means that you can keep collecting armor upgrades in each new playthrough and try to keep pace as the world around you also gets stronger. It is very important that you collect all the shrines you can find though, since any armor shrine you haven’t collected when moving on to the next playthrough is lost…
When you collect weapons in NG+ and beyond, you will notice that they are stronger variants of the original versions. We wanted you to still get a feeling of finding better equipment and progressing. Naturally, the weapons don’t improve as fast as the enemies, but if you wanted this to be easy, you’d be playing something else, right?
