Finishing the expansive journey of Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a massive achievement, but the adventure does not have to end when the credits roll. Replaying the game through the specialized New Game Plus mode allows players to experience the cinematic narrative with an entirely different approach. Understanding what carries over and how to unlock the unique rewards can help you make the most of your subsequent playthroughs across the galaxy.
How to Unlock and Start New Game Plus
To begin this enhanced journey, players must first complete the main storyline missions and witness the conclusion of Cal's primary campaign. Once the final credits conclude, a new option labeled New Journey Plus will permanently appear on the main menu dashboard. Selecting this option allows you to start a fresh save file while utilizing the massive progress achieved during your original run.
When you start this mode, the game instantly carries over all your hard-earned skill points, unlocked lightsaber stances, and cosmetic options accumulated previously. This means you can wield advanced combat styles right from the opening sequences without needing to re-learn basic survival mechanics. However, certain story-related abilities and physical traversal tools are temporarily locked behind narrative milestones to preserve the intended progression path.
Exclusive Red and Party Lightsaber Colors
The most visually striking rewards waiting for dedicated players in New Game Plus are the brand-new cosmetic variants for Cal's signature weapon. Upon starting the mode, you will immediately find the iconic Red lightsaber crystal waiting inside your customization menu. This scarlet blade allows players to embrace a darker aesthetic as they clash with Imperial forces across various planets.
Alongside the crimson option, players also unlock the unique Party lightsaber color configuration. This festive option dynamically shifts between different shades of the spectrum every single time you swing the weapon or engage in combat. Experimenting with these fresh aesthetics breathes incredible new life into the visual presentation of the intense combat encounters.
Game-Changing New Perks to Equip
Beyond cosmetic adjustments, New Game Plus introduces three specialized perks that completely transform how you interact with the surrounding virtual environment. The Purity perk dramatically increases the damage output of both Cal and his enemies, turning every single encounter into a high-stakes duel where tactical precision is essential. This creates a much faster and lethal combat experience that mirrors realistic lightsaber lethality.
For players who crave unpredictability, the Trendsetter perk automatically randomizes your equipped cosmetic items every time you respawn after falling in battle. Meanwhile, the Warrior perk swaps standard enemy encounters for much tougher combat scenarios, placing high-tier Imperial units in early sections of the game. These custom modifications ensure that veteran fighters face completely fresh challenges even when exploring familiar landscapes.
