Producer and director started it's a new game mode which is based evolution from New Game Plus in it's own unique ways, and players might gonna start all over again from beginning with carry over features, but there's the difference between True Cycle Mode and New Game Plus. As NG+ was designed to re-experience the same story and same multiple branch endings features while with carry over features, but the new modes which was called True Cycle Mode is different, but it's a greater unique version of New Game+ which you might gonna start all over again with your carry features.

However the difference is that the game experience will be new and difference, along with the story as they progress will find something difference and something that never even experienced it in a normal mode, as there will be a new cutscenes, new truths, new twist, new weirdness and new freedoms that brings something that players will never done before, while another different is that there won't be ending branch, but it will be leads now to the Ending E, also a new final act scenario will be unlocked and it's different from the original. This also means that the True Cycle Mode will be finally directly connected to CODE: 81311 since all twist been revealed in Ending A to E will might be chance to show it's really connected to each other, and how it all string connected to all titles together as whole that brings us to something that definitely leads to all of this events.

One other thing that there will be "twistingly and surprising returning characters" from .hack//Link -RIVES-, something that you might brought back to it, and lot missing link there will soon finally revealed in this mode. Although in order to avoid more spoilers, fans need to see it for themselves to the end in order to find the "Real" Truth. They would surprisingly wanted to at least answering a last few questions that left unanswered in RIVES, for example, the two souls inside Saika and how those this connected to the error process of AI Creation of Saika. Another question is a biggest and most demanding answer in .hack which is finally comes to be revealed in the True Cycle Mode, all those question will be answered as the story progress which director considered last few question of those as a "Missing Link".
