Unlike many other games that feature this mode, New Game+ isn’t located in the main startup menu. No instead, you’ll need to load whatever save you want to start a new game plus journey from and travel to the base. If you forgot where the base was, we have marked it in the map down below.

Once you arrive at the base, you’ll want to enter it and begin making your way to the main room. You should see Beta in this room, and right across from her is some sort of metal beacon (flower?) where you can activate your new game play run.
