Assassin’s Creed Shadows: New Game Plus Confirmed?

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern 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 everything you need to know.

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

The short answer is no, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not include a New Game Plus mode. To experience the story from the beginning, you'll have to start a new save file and begin 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. You can still complete any remaining side quests and hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout the game.

There's a wealth of side content to enjoy even after finishing the main story, and you don't need New Game Plus to keep the fun going. It's worth noting that *Shadows* doesn't 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. One thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience what the game has to offer.

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 needed to finish the story, be sure to visit The Escapist.
