The full details:
New Game Plus
The most highly requested feature from the community ever since we launched was New Game Plus, and the response to the game has been so overwhelming that we eventually had to do it. I’m happy to say that we cooked on this.
We didn’t just lazily scale up enemy stats and call it a day, we’ve added new moves to bosses, some new items, and oh yeah, remixed almost every enemy encounter in the game. You’ll even be able to upgrade your fork and stowaway weight even higher. Have you ever wanted FOUR stowaway slots? NG+ has FOUR stowaway slots. PLUS we’ve also added new exclusive stowaways for NG+, the Sigils.

Outside of New Game Plus…
Refight Bosses
You’ll now have the chance to go back to your favorite boss fights and get your shell handed to you through COMBAT MEMORIES. Maybe you just wanna listen to Polluted Platoon Pathfinder again, I won’t judge. Re-fight any defeated boss in your playthrough from any Moon Snail Shell. Speaking of bosses…
Boss Rush Mode
Topoda now offers Boss Rush challenges – with a variety of themed sequential fights.
Your reward for beating one of these trials is…
New Costumes
OK I guess I can’t just move on from this without leaking one of the new costumes. Here’s a look at Pretty Princess Kril:
Museum Bestiary
The Museum is finally open again for business, and inside is a constantly updated display of all enemies you encounter and defeat in your journey.
One New Boss Fight
I’m not snitchin’ ok. I won’t budge, but trust me it’s a well deserved fight. This boss totally deserves it.
