Starfield, the epic space game from Bethesda, has an avid player base exploring its vast universe, and one superfan's dedication has led to a remarkable discovery. A player, recognized as @NikoMueller on Twitter, has completed an astonishing 33 New Game Plus cycles and has encountered a novel interaction—meeting a fully voiced version of their original character at the Constellation HQ.

In Starfield's New Game Plus mode, players can experience the game anew with different story elements, dialogue options, and at least one additional main mission. This gameplay mechanic uses "multiverse shenanigans" to provide a fresh playthrough after beating the main story. The unique twist discovered by the player involves an interaction with an alternate version of the player character, who possesses the same statistics and questions from their original playthrough. While this intriguing encounter cannot lead to an in-game romance with oneself, it offers a chance to team up and recruit your alternate self.

This rare New Game Plus variation was identified shortly after Starfield's release but is considered a rarity due to random occurrences at Constellation. While players thought all New Game Plus variants were known, the community continues to push through the game, searching for more surprises. Starfield has seen record-breaking success with over 10 million players and has been updated multiple times, including the addition of DLSS support and on-the-spot eating mechanics. Bethesda anticipates releasing substantial post-launch add-on content, including a story expansion named Shattered Space.

However, despite its achievements, Starfield has received mixed reviews on Steam, prompting Bethesda staff to address negative comments actively. As players and Bethesda alike look forward to expanding the Starfield universe, the game's replayability and discovery potential continue to be significant selling points for this sci-fi adventure.
