New Game Plus in The Sinking City 2 unlocks after the main story and carries over all perk points, unlocked perks, and items while adding NG+-only Ex Oblivione lore and a five-entry infinite supply reference set.
This is a progression-focused replay rather than a blank reset. Your developed character returns to Arkham for new challenges, reward goals, and lore unavailable during the initial campaign.

Quick answer: New Game Plus carryover
New Game Plus preserves your broader character build while opening a replay intended for additional challenges and completion goals.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When does New Game Plus unlock? | After completing the main story. |
| What carries over? | All perk points, unlocked perks, and items. |
| What new lore appears? | Ex Oblivione documents reserved for New Game Plus. |
| What is the reward purpose? | Pursuing certain achievements, cosmetic rewards, and gameplay rewards. |
The individual achievement, cosmetic, and gameplay reward lists are separate goals rather than automatic rewards granted solely for starting the mode.
At a glance: first playthrough vs. New Game Plus
| Feature | New Game Plus impact |
|---|---|
| Progression | Starts the replay with the perk points and unlocked perks earned previously. |
| Items | Brings items from the completed playthrough into the new run. |
| Ex Oblivione lore | Adds a collectible category that does not appear in the standard campaign. |
| Achievements and rewards | Supports additional challenges tied to certain achievements and cosmetic or gameplay rewards. |
| Difficulty expectations | Provides a stronger starting build for harder challenge attempts, although New Game Plus is not merely a fixed difficulty setting. |
| Replay purpose | Combines lore collection, missed-content cleanup, reward goals, and a story replay with an established build. |
A standard first run remains the natural choice for a spoiler-light visit to Arkham. New Game Plus is better suited to completion-focused routing and experimenting with equipment and perks that took time to develop.
When and how to start New Game Plus
Complete the main story in Arkham, then select the completion-linked New Game Plus option. Its exact menu wording may vary, so look for the option associated with your finished campaign rather than a particular quoted label.
The new run restarts the story using your carried progression. Before beginning, finish any cleanup that depends on the current campaign state and keep the completed save intact as a fallback.

Ex Oblivione lore and collectible hunting
Ex Oblivione documents are a New Game Plus collectible layer. They are absent from a standard first playthrough, so failing to find one during the initial campaign does not mean that you missed an interaction.
Examples include The Loss Of Calvin Rafferty and The Joys Of Discomfort. These entries are distinct from the ordinary lore documents available throughout the standard campaign.
Collectible hunters should therefore treat the second run as a new lore sweep rather than only retracing locations previously cleared. Ordinary missed collectibles can be pursued alongside the Ex Oblivione set, but only the latter specifically requires New Game Plus.
How to use this list for your New Game Plus route
Choose your priorities before restarting so the carried build supports what you want from the replay. You can pair combat or achievement goals with a collectible sweep without relying on an unlisted item location or presumed unlock order.
| Playstyle | Prioritize |
|---|---|
| Combat-first | Your strongest carried gear and the infinite supply matching your most-used weapon |
| Collectible hunter | Ex Oblivione documents alongside any ordinary collectibles missed previously |
| Achievement cleaner | Outstanding achievement requirements that can be combined during one replay route |
| Story replay | A preferred difficulty and developed perk setup for revisiting the campaign |
Choose Handgun Ammo ∞, Rifle Ammo ∞, Shotgun Ammo ∞, or Submachine Gun Ammo ∞ around your favored firearm. Prioritize Frag Grenades ∞ when explosives matter more to your setup than sustained gunfire.
Preserve your completed-story save before starting New Game Plus so you retain a clean fallback for unfinished content and carryover checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Ex Oblivione documents missing from my first playthrough?
Their absence is intentional. Ex Oblivione documents only become available in New Game Plus, so they cannot be collected during the standard campaign.
Is HDR support part of New Game Plus?
No. HDR belongs to a separate free post-launch update and is not a New Game Plus feature.
Does New Game Plus add alternate endings or extra story scenes?
Alternate endings, additional scenes, and unique dialogue are not established New Game Plus features. Its stated narrative addition is the Ex Oblivione lore.
Will story keys and one-off quest items carry over?
The broad item carryover rule does not identify exceptions for story-critical keys or one-off quest objects. Check those objects after the replay begins instead of planning a route that depends on retaining them.
