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

New Game Plus in Assassin

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey with all levels, equipment, and progress intact from their initial 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?

The straightforward answer is, no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not offer a New Game Plus mode. If you're looking to relive the story from the beginning, you'll need to start a new save file and begin from scratch. Unfortunately, this means you won't be able to carry over any of the items or equipment you acquired during your first playthrough.

However, once you've completed the main storyline and rolled credits, you can continue to explore the expansive open world of Feudal Japan. This gives you the chance to complete any remaining side quests, hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and encounter rare animals.

There's still a wealth of side content to enjoy post-story completion, and you don't need New Game Plus to keep exploring. It's also worth noting that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings, and dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative. Therefore, there's little incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single thorough playthrough should be enough to experience everything *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* has to offer.

We hope this clears up any questions about New Game Plus in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to redeem pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
