New Game Plus in Marvel's Wolverine: Complete Guide

New Game Plus is available in Marvel's Wolverine from launch. It allows you to replay the game while keeping your progress on Gear, Techniques and Adaptations, as well as unlocking exclusive content.

How New Game + works

To unlock it:

1. Complete the main story and watch the credits (Epilogue). 100% completion is not required.
2. You will be sent to the Nightmare Cabin. Return to the title screen from the pause menu.
3. The completed save will appear marked in red with the (NG+) label.
4. Press Square on an eligible slot to create a New Game + save. It is generated in an empty slot and does not overwrite the original save.

If you load a save from before completing the game, New Game + will not be available. To re-enable it, load a save from the Epilogue.

What’s added in New Game +

New Techniques (Unstoppable Force)
The level cap increases to 40. Four new Techniques are unlocked:

• Level 37 → Unstoppable Force Level 1 (slightly reduces incoming damage)
• Level 38 → Level 2 (moderate reduction, cumulative)
• Level 39 → Level 3 (large reduction, cumulative)
• Level 40 → Level 4 (very large reduction, cumulative)

New Adaptations

• The Adaptation Level cap increases from 10 to 15 (requires 106 AP in total).
• Each level above 10 grants 2 Strands, raising the limit from 10 to 20 Strands.
• Four “Reckless” Adaptations are unlocked:
  • Reckless Healing: passive regeneration is tripled, but damage taken is doubled.
  • Reckless Brawler: all attacks deal triple damage, but damage taken is doubled.
  • Reckless Berserker: attacks generate much more Rage, but Last Stand is unavailable.
  • Reckless Tactics: attacks charge Special Techniques and Helix Claws, but Last Stand drains all Special Techniques.

How to prepare for New Game +

Although 100% is not required, it is recommended to:

• Level Logan up to level 36.
• Obtain all possible AP (Whisky Bottles + Nightmare Door Trials) to start at Adaptation Level 15.
• Unlock 200% Health by crafting 16 suits (approximately 1,750 Materials if you choose the cheapest ones).

Important: AP from bottles and trials already completed cannot be obtained again. If you were missing AP from the end of the game, you will have to reach that part again in NG+.

What is carried over in New Game +

• Nightmare Doors, Material Crates and Whisky Bottles (the bottle menu is available from the start).
• All suits and Materials.
• Destroyed XP Caches (they cannot be collected again).
• XP amount (allows progress toward level 40).
• Purchased Techniques and Special Techniques.
• Adaptation loadout and AP.
• The suit and claws equipped when creating the NG+ save.
• Immediate access to Rage Tier 3.
• Helix Claws and their associated Special Techniques.

What is not carried over

• The Nightmare Cabin is locked again until you find the Nightmare Door in “The One That Got Away”.
• The final trial Best There Is is only unlocked again when you reach the Epilogue.

New Game + allows you to replay the story with all accumulated upgrades and access exclusive Techniques and Adaptations content.
