New Game Plus

New Game Plus is a recurring mechanic in the franchise, which enables the player start again upon finishing the game with certain bonuses. Typically they involve a removal of fusion level limits and, in more recent installments, carry-over of Compendium data to make it easier to acquire demons.

Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
New Game Plus is unlocked once the player completes the Corridor of Time bonus dungeon and defeats Beelzebub. Entering the mysterious door, a voice asks if they want to reset time and continue their journey again. When continuing in a New Game Plus, several things change:


 * Damage taken from enemies is increased by 50%.
 * Casino coins and the bank balance in Paradigm X is retained.
 * The "Steven" and "Friday" apps are pre-installed in the GUMP, which enables COMP Fusion to ignore the level restriction and grants maximum loyalty.
 * The Goumaden likewise no longer has level restrictions on fusing.
 * New mini-games can be played at the shops in Shibahama Core.
 * An alternate ending is available in which Spooky survives his possession by Satanael.
 * In the 3DS version, compendium data is carried over. Demons unlocked from Nemechi are also retained, however Nemechi itself is reverted to the first stage.

No demons or items are carried over, and the player can change the name of the protagonist and select a different skill path for Nemissa during the prologue.

Devil Survivor Overclocked
At the conclusion of the 7th day and viewing the ending and staff credits, the player is prompted to make a clear save. If the player ended on Yuzu, Amane, or Naoya/Kaido routes, they can select whether to continue to the 8th day chapter or just New Game Plus.

Upon loading a cleared save, they will be presented with the Survivor Awards which awarded them points based on what they accomplished and spend them on bonuses for the next playthrough.
