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

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern 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 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 have to initiate a new save file and begin anew. Unfortunately, you won't be able to carry over any items or equipment from your first playthrough.

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

There's still a wealth of side content to discover even after finishing the main storyline, and you don't need New Game Plus to keep enjoying the game. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and dialogue choices have minimal impact, there's little incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different narrative paths. A single thorough playthrough should allow you to fully experience everything the game 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 your pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests necessary for the story, be sure to check out The Escapist.
