You'll want to know, will Diablo 4 have New Game Plus? It's a common feature of modern games, but will Diablo let you continue to level and progress while playing all over again?

Will Diablo 4 have New Game Plus?

Diablo 4 won't have a New Game Plus mode in name, but the way you'll be able to replay the game as your old character on different difficulties is functionally the exact same.

Despite the lack of an official Diablo 4 NG+ mode, players can choose one of five difficulties to play on, with three of them requiring you to unlock them while playing the game for the first time.

The Diablo 4 difficulty modes are:

Adventurer (World Tier 1) - Unlocked automatically
Veteran (World Tier 2) - Unlocked automatically
Nightmare (World Tier 3) - Complete Cathedral of Light dungeon on Veteran difficulty.
Hell (World Tier 4) - Complete the Fallen Temple dungeon on Nightmare difficulty.
Torment (World Tier 5) - Complete the Archives of Issalia dungeon on Hell difficulty.

With the new difficulties, you will be able to play through the game again with the same character, meaning you'll keep all your loot, levelling progress, abilities, and more.

New difficulty modes also provide you with the chance to earn new rewards and encounter new bosses as the World Tier increases.

Is there a Diablo 4 endgame?

On top of being able to restart the game like New Game Plus with a different difficulty, there is an endgame to Diablo 4 that you take part in, whether it be tackling post-campaign quests, dungeons, world bosses, or PvP.

So while there isn't an official Diablo 4 New Game Plus mode, the function of it is still essentially there in the unlockable difficulties and endgame content.

That's all for our breakdown of whether Diablo 4 will have New Game Plus, and now you know while it doesn't strictly have NG+, you can still replay the game with the same character and unlocks.
