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 while retaining all 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 initiate a new save file and begin from scratch. None of the items or equipment you acquired during your first playthrough will carry over.

However, once you've seen the credits roll and completed the main storyline, you're welcome to continue exploring the vast open-world of Feudal Japan. You can still tackle any remaining side quests, hunt down legendary gear, engravings, and animals, ensuring there's plenty of content to enjoy post-game.

Even without New Game Plus, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers ample side content to keep you engaged after beating the main story. Since the game 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 experience the game fully.

We hope this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus. For more tips and information on the game, including how to redeem pre-order bonuses and a complete guide to all main quests, be sure to visit The Escapist.
