Players can now start a New Game+ playthrough once they finish the final quest in the Hamtunscire area. During this mode, obtaining duplicate items or books provides a currency known as Mithril. This material can also be found in specific shops and is used to improve Divine gear, which now has a higher level cap of 27. Additionally, finding standard ingots in chests now yields Platinum, allowing players to upgrade equipment without needing the expansion content.

An optional progression setting is also included. When enabled, gear and rune upgrades grant one power point, while masteries provide power every five skill points. The forge has been updated with more than 300 engravable runes, including perks from previous expansions and the store, which can be applied for 450 silver.

Owners of the latest PlayStation console benefit from enhanced PSSR 2 technology. This feature aims to deliver 4K resolution while maintaining 60 frames per second in quality mode. The update also includes two achievements and an outfit based on a character from the upcoming series entry.
