New Game Plus Confirmed for Assassin’s Creed Shadows

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey with all their levels, equipment, and progress intact from the initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here's what you need to know.

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not offer a New Game Plus mode. To experience the story anew, you'll have to start a completely fresh 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 rolled the credits and finished the game, you can continue to explore the open world. This gives you the chance to complete any remaining side quests, hunt down additional legendary gear, engravings, and animals that are scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

There's still a wealth of side content to enjoy even after completing the main storyline, and you don't need New Game Plus to keep the fun going. Moreover, since *Shadows* doesn’t feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative, there's little incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single, thorough playthrough should allow you to fully experience everything the game has to offer.

I 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.
