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 achieved in their initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here’s what you should 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 wish to relive the story from the start, you'll need to create a new save file and begin from scratch. Unfortunately, none of the items or equipment you acquired during your first playthrough will carry over.

However, once you've completed the main storyline and rolled the credits, you're free to continue exploring the vast open world of Feudal Japan. You can still tackle any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and discover elusive animals. There's a wealth of side content to enjoy even after finishing the main story, and you won't need New Game Plus to keep the adventure going.

It's worth noting that *Shadows* does not feature multiple endings, and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative. Therefore, there's little incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single, thorough playthrough should allow you to experience everything *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* has to offer.

Hopefully, this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus. 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.
