New Game Plus

Start Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's New Journey+ to replay Cal Kestis's adventure with all your unlocked Force powers and abilities. Face new challenges.

New Game Plus: New Journey+

Welcome back, Padawan! If you've completed Cal Kestis's initial journey and are looking for a fresh challenge or simply want to revisit the galaxy with all your hard-earned abilities, New Journey+ (the game's New Game Plus mode) is your next adventure. This mode allows you to restart the story while retaining many of your previous accomplishments, offering a unique blend of power fantasy and renewed exploration.

Initiating New Journey+

Once you've rolled credits on the main story, the option to begin New Journey+ will become available from the main menu. Simply select it to start a new playthrough. You'll be prompted to choose a difficulty, just like in your initial run, allowing you to ramp up the challenge if you desire.

What Carries Over?

New Journey+ significantly streamlines your early game progression by carrying over key elements from your completed save file. This means you won't be starting from scratch in terms of Cal's development.

• Force Abilities: All Force powers you unlocked, such as Force Push, Force Pull, Force Slow, and the Jedi Flip, will be available from the very beginning. This includes the Double Jump, which significantly alters early-game traversal.
• Lightsaber Stances: Both the Single Blade and Double-Bladed Lightsaber stances will be immediately accessible. You won't need to re-acquire the Double-Bladed Lightsaber on Bogano or Kashyyyk.
• Cosmetics: All collected cosmetic items for Cal (ponchos, outfits), BD-1 (skins), and the Mantis (paint jobs) will be available in your customization options from the start. This allows you to personalize your look right away.
• Lightsaber Parts: Any lightsaber components (emitters, switches, sleeves, materials) you found will be in your inventory, allowing for immediate customization at workbenches.
• Skill Tree: All skill points you invested in Cal's skill tree will be retained. This means Cal begins New Journey+ as a fully capable Jedi Knight, ready to face the Empire.

What Does NOT Carry Over?

While much is retained, some elements are reset to ensure a fresh narrative experience and to prevent breaking the game's progression:

• Story Progress: The main story progression is reset. You'll begin again with Cal's initial encounter with the Second Sister on Bracca.
• Exploration Progress: All map data, chests opened, and secrets found (Force Echoes, Databank entries) are reset. This allows you to re-explore every corner of the galaxy and rediscover lore.
• Stim Canisters: Your maximum number of Stim Canisters will be reset to the starting amount. You'll need to re-find BD-1's Stim Canister upgrades throughout the galaxy.
• Health and Force Essences: Any collected Health Essences and Force Essences that increased your maximum health and Force meter will be reset. You'll need to re-collect these to maximize your stats.

Exclusive New Journey+ Content: Inquisitor Outfit & Red Lightsaber

New Journey+ isn't just about replaying; it offers exclusive rewards for your dedication. Upon starting New Journey+, you will immediately unlock:

• Inquisitor Outfit: Cal will gain access to a menacing Inquisitor outfit, allowing him to blend in (or stand out) among the Empire's elite Force-users. This outfit is purely cosmetic.
• Red Lightsaber Crystal: A powerful red lightsaber crystal becomes available for use. You can equip this at any workbench to brandish a Sith-aligned blade, a stark contrast to Cal's usual blue or green. This is also purely cosmetic and does not alter damage or Force abilities.

Strategies for Your Second Journey

With a fully powered Cal from the outset, New Journey+ offers unique strategic advantages:

• Early Game Dominance: The early planets like Bogano and Zeffo become significantly easier. You can dispatch Stormtroopers and even some early mini-bosses with ease, allowing for quicker exploration and puzzle-solving.
• Access to Previously Inaccessible Areas: With abilities like the Double Jump and Force Push available from the start, you can reach areas on early planets that were previously locked behind story progression. This allows for more efficient collection of chests and secrets. For example, on Bogano, you can access certain ledges and shortcuts much earlier than in your first playthrough.
• Focus on Collectibles: Since combat is less of a hurdle, you can dedicate more time to thoroughly exploring each planet for remaining collectibles, databank entries, and Force Echoes. Use your fully upgraded Force powers to uncover every hidden path.
• Difficulty Adjustment: Consider increasing the difficulty to Grand Master. With all your skills unlocked, this provides a genuine challenge, forcing you to master combat mechanics and Force ability usage even with your advanced toolkit.
• Experiment with Combat: With all lightsaber stances and Force powers available, experiment with different combat combinations. Try using Force Pull to group enemies before a Double-Bladed Lightsaber attack, or use Force Slow to set up precise single-blade deflections.

New Journey+ transforms Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order into a different experience, allowing you to either breeze through the story with overwhelming power or seek out a greater challenge with a fully realized Jedi Knight. May the Force be with you on your renewed journey!
