Assassin’s Creed Shadows: New Game Plus Confirmed

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart the game while retaining all their levels, equipment, and progress from the 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. If you wish to experience the story again from the beginning, you'll need 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 rolled credits, you're not done yet. You can continue exploring the expansive open world of Feudal Japan. This gives you the chance to complete any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and animals that you might have missed during your initial run.

So, even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of side content to enjoy post-story completion. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and dialogue choices don't significantly impact the storyline, there's little incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different narrative 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 your pre-order bonuses and a comprehensive list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
