New Game+ Guide

Once you've conquered the Federal Bureau of Control and defeated the Hiss, Control Ultimate Edition offers a New Game+ mode, allowing you to relive Jesse Faden's journey with enhanced challenges and rewards. This mode is desed for players who have completed the main story and are looking for a fresh, more difficult experience.

In New Game+, you'll start with all of Jesse's unlocked abilities and upgraded Service Weapon forms from your previous playthrough. This means you'll have access to your full arsenal of supernatural powers and combat options right from the beginning. However, the enemies you face will be sificantly tougher. They will have increased health, deal more damage, and may appear in greater numbers or in different combinations than in your initial playthrough.

Key Features of New Game+:

  • Retained Progression: All your acquired abilities, Service Weapon forms, and mods carry over.
  • Increased Difficulty: Enemies are stronger and more aggressive.
  • New Challenges: Expect tougher encounters and potentially new enemy placements.
  • Exclusive Rewards: Completing New Game+ can unlock unique gear, mods, or cosmetic items not available in a standard playthrough.

When starting a New Game+ playthrough, you'll have the option to select your difficulty setting. It's recommended to start on a higher difficulty if you're seeking a true challenge, as the base enemy scaling in New Game+ is already elevated.

Strategies for New Game+:

  • Master Your Abilities: With all your powers available from the start, experiment with different combinations to find the most effective ways to dispatch tougher enemies.
  • Prioritize Upgrades: Even though you start with upgrades, continue to gather resources and spend Ability Points to further enhance your core stats and powers.
  • Utilize the Environment: The destructible environments of the Oldest House are even more critical for survival against stronger foes. Use Launch to throw heavy objects or create cover.
  • Explore Thoroughly: While you have access to everything, revisiting areas might reveal new opportunities or challenges you missed before.

New Game+ in Control is an excellent way to extend the game's lifespan and test your mastery of its intricate combat system and supernatural abilities. Prepare for a more intense and rewarding experience as you once again step into the shoes of Director Jesse Faden.
