It isn't meant to be funny. Someone asked me on Twitter about a New Game + feature and I responded as you read. There is no word on a new game + feature. If that were to ever change (if it was added in the Expansion pass or a future DLC or whenever, then we would have word on it and would let people know. I'm not going to make up details on something we have no word on, and I prefer to answer when possible rather than ignoring the question.
Sorry.
There was "no word" on a storage chest until the v1.07 patch notes were posted, either. NG+ confirmed.
