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

New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress 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. To relive the story from the start, you'll need to begin a new save file and start over from scratch. 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 seen the credits roll, you're free to continue exploring the expansive open world of Feudal Japan. This allows you to complete any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and animals that you might have missed during your initial playthrough.

So, while there's no New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of side content to explore and enjoy post-game. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story, there's less incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different narrative paths. A single, thorough playthrough should be sufficient to fully experience the game.

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 pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
