Yes, Starfield has New Game Plus

You may have heard about a little space game called Starfield, the gravitational pull from which risks swallowing all games discourse for months and possibly years to come. Perhaps that's no surprise for a game that's been in development and hyped for as long as any title that I can remember (well, ones that have shipped anyway) but it's easy to forget now the thing's in our hands that it was subject to multiple delays along the way.

After finishing your first playthrough of Starfield, you can choose to leave your previous life behind and start anew with all the knowledge and experience you gained, but almost nothing else. Unlike other New Game Plus modes, here you start off at essentially zero with just a ship and your wits. No credits, no weapons, aid items, nothing. That makes the first few things you do even more important, as they will set the tone for the rest of your new playthrough. In this guide, we’ll discuss the five most valuable things to accomplish when you start NG+ in Starfield.

A FromSoftware staple is the New Game+ feature which allows you to experience their games all over again with the gear, upgrades, and levels you have earned in your first playthrough and this is no different in Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. Once you have unlocked your first ending, you will have the chance to battle the many threats on Rubicon again with a better master of your AC. This New Game+ mode isn’t just something that allows you to play the game again, however. This mode also has many exclusive items and even completely unique missions that players who want to fully experience the new mecha title will need to play. This guide will explain to players how the New Game+ mode works in Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.

Bethesda are adding official support for Starfield mods in 2024, Bethesda Games Studios top banana Todd Howard has told Famitsu in a Japanese language interview. People are already modding Starfield, of course - the options range from "Potato Mode" functionality for lower-spec computers, through somewhat controversial Starfield DLSS mods, to the all-important Starfield script extender, which lets other modders add "scripting capabilities and functionality" to the game. But Bethesda have yet to release proper in-house tools, aka Creation Kit 2.

In an interview with Famitsu, Starfield lead and Bethesda frontman Todd Howard stated that the game's mod support «will be available next year» (obtained via machine translation), which likely refers to Starfield's equivalent to the Creation Kit modding tools for Skyrim and Fallout 4.

I have been playing Starfield for a few weeks now, and there is plenty of opportunity for customization, from the character creator tool to changing your clothing appearance and even customizing the outside of your ship. But today I learned that you can also design the interior of your ship's console by adding items on there as decor.

Warning: Full Spoilers for Starfield follow

Starfield is officially out, and modders have been working hard creating helpful add-ons, from useful, quality-of-life mods such as revamping the inventory UI to unofficially adding support for DLSS. Others have added more cosmetic things like reskin in-game clothes. And then there are some people out there who keep modding Bethesda's Todd Howard into the game.

Fans of the franchise have highly anticipated Alan Wake 2. It’s a game that’s been in the works for Remedy Entertainment for quite a few years, too. However, the video game has finally been approved, and the developers are now finally getting ready to reach the finish line. With that said, we know the game will be arriving next month, and while we wait for the game to reach the marketplace, there is a new video drop from IGN highlighting an early mission for Alan Wake 2.

There’s a multitudinous selection of planets to explore in the sea of lights that is Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield.

If you’ve somehow already completed the main story missions and seen the end of the story, you’ll be wanting to know if there’s a Starfield New Game Plus mode or not.

We all knew that Starfield would have a packed Nexus Mods page in its first week of release, but the dedication of the playerbase is still awe-inspiring. We're only on day three of its early access period and there are already 334 mods uploaded to Nexus at the time of writing. 124 of which were shared today. So, it's no surprise that some of them already centre around the main man himself, the one and only: Todd Howard.
