Mastering Starfield: The Ultimate New Game Plus Guide for Unprecedented Success

The Starfield New Game Plus mode is a pleasant surprise, being the first of its kind in a Bethesda game. The integration of this mode into the campaign and narrative is not only fascinating but also well-executed. In our guide, we delve into what players can anticipate from Starfield's New Game Plus mode, highlighting its peculiarities and alterations. It is worth mentioning that this article contains spoilers.

What to expect from New Game Plus mode in Starfield

Walking towards the Unity, the dazzling orb at the heart, will initiate your New Game Plus journey as a Starborn in an "alternate" universe. Conversely, walking away from the Unity, towards the edge of the area shrouded in darkness, will lead you back to your ship, enabling you to resume your exploration in the "main" universe.

Step inside the dazzling sphere to commence your New Game Plus adventure.

What carries over in New Game Plus

All traits - Since most traits are firmly established.

Retaining Skills - You will retain all the skills you have unlocked, along with their corresponding levels. There is no limit to the level progression, allowing you to constantly gain access to new and more advanced skills.

Retained Powers - All the powers you have obtained during your gameplay will remain intact. Additionally, we have observed that temples now offer enhanced versions of these powers, such as Anti-Gravity Field II or Personal Atmosphere II.

The Frontier - Whether or not you sold the Frontier, it'll still be with you when you begin your New Game Plus run.

What you lose when you advance to New Game Plus

All the items you have acquired, including weapons, spacesuits, crafting materials, and the incredibly powerful digipicks, will be completely lost. With the exception of the Frontier, all the other ships from your initial journey will vanish.

Your outposts will go poof.

Say goodbye to credits.

What do you get in New Game Plus

Every planet you previously visited and scanned will require another visit and thorough scanning. This means embarking on another journey through the game's connect-the-dots galaxy map.

Awakening on a Starborn Guardian II vessel, you find yourself in possession of your very own ship. Welcome to the pilot's seat of your personal Starborn spacecraft.

Equipped with the Starborn Spacesuit Astra, a complete ensemble comprising armor, helmet, and jetpack, you are bestowed with a multitude of advantages by simply donning it. However, should you choose to wear alternative gear, like the Ecliptic Helmet or Constellation Pack, individual items must be equipped separately in the remaining slots.

Speaking of the Starborn Spacesuit, our team successfully completed a New Game Plus run. To our excitement, our subsequent attempt rewarded us with the Starborn Spacesuit Materia, boasting improved stats and unique modifications. Whether these Starborn suits are randomly generated or part of a progressive NG+ system remains unconfirmed—meaning each playthrough might grant you superior equipment.

Worth it. These are just a few examples of the awesome elements you can anticipate in Starfield's New Game Plus feature. Upon reaching The Lodge, you will encounter Constellation, who will be equally astonished by your presence since they are unaware of your existence in their universe.

Furthermore, the main quest can be completely bypassed, resulting in significant alterations. Additionally, one may encounter the Starborn Trader. Starfield boasts an expansive universe, brimming with countless planets awaiting exploration. For further guidance and strategies, please visit our guides hub.
