New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Confirmed?

New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress they earned during their first playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin's Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here's what you need to know.

Does Assassin's Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. *Assassin's Creed Shadows* does not offer a New Game Plus mode. To experience the story from the beginning, you'll need to start a fresh save file and begin from scratch. This means you won't be able to carry over any items or equipment from your initial playthrough.

However, once you've rolled the credits and completed the game, you're free to continue exploring the vast open-world setting. You can still tackle any remaining side quests, hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

Even without New Game Plus, there's a wealth of side content to enjoy post-story completion. Moreover, since *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative, replaying the game through New Game Plus wouldn't offer much in terms of new paths or outcomes. A single thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience everything the game has to offer.

We hope this clarifies whether *Assassin's Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
