Best answer: Yes. Much like the original game, The Last of Us Part II has a New Game Plus that is available after finishing your first playthrough.

Does The Last of Us Part 2 have New Game Plus?

The Last of Us had a New Game Plus mode that allowed players to experience the game again with everything they'd unlocked and The Last of Us Part II offers the same option. After completing the game for the first time, you can select New Game Plus. This allows you to play through the game again with all your upgrades and equipment that you unlocked in your first run.

To play again in New Game Plus, simply select the option from the main menu. You can can see what the option looks like below.

What do I keep in New Game Plus?

You'll keep any upgrades or crafting recipes, which will be available from the start of the game. Any weapons you've found — and upgrades for said weapons — will also carry over in New Game Plus but those won't be available until Ellie makes her way to Seattle.
