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

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern games that lets players 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. 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 finished the main storyline and rolled the credits, you're free to continue exploring the expansive open-world of Feudal Japan. You can complete any remaining side quests, hunt for the remaining legendary gear, engravings, and animals. There's still a wealth of content to enjoy even after completing 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 have minimal impact on the overall narrative. As such, there's little incentive to replay the game with New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience what the game has to offer.

Hopefully, this clears up any questions about New Game Plus in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
