As confirmed by the PlayStation blog posted during the mode's launch, God of War New Game Plus lets you keep armour, Hacksilver, skills, talismans, runic attacks, and weapons. The latter means that yes, you'll have the Blades of Chaos right from the start of the game - which is a great addition to add combat in the earlier sections of the game, especially with the higher difficulties.

God of War New Game Plus also adds Skap Slag, an exclusive resource that you can use to craft and upgrade higher levels of new equipment, including the best armor in the game.

 

That's a wrap on what gets carried over in God of War New Game Plus. If you're giving New Game Plus a try before playing God of War Ragnarok, be sure to check how long it takes to beat God of War first. If you're playing on PlayStation 5, take a look at what comes with the God of War PS5 upgrade
