Starfield is just a few weeks away and ahead of its release, Bethesda’s Todd Howard has confirmed that Starfield will have a New Game+ mode.
In an interview with GQ, Howard confirmed that New Game+ does exist in Starfield, noting it was another way to incentivize repeat playthroughs for players.
“Starfield delivers [Bethesda Game Studios’] most immersive role-playing since 2006’s Oblivion,” Howard told GQ. “It gives you the flexibility and options to carve out a unique identity, and even adds a unique and exciting twist on New Game+ to incentivize continued and repeat play.”
Howard did not go into detail as to what exactly will carry over (like weapons and in-game currency) should you complete Starfield once and pursue a New Game+ save, but the confirmation of New Game+ is noteworthy as Bethesda Game Studios is not a studio known for adding such a feature in its games.
