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

New Game Plus is a beloved feature that lets players dive back into a game from the start, keeping all their hard-earned levels, equipment, and progress. Many modern games embrace this feature, but if you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus, here's the scoop you need.

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're eager to relive the story from the beginning, you'll have to start over with a fresh save file. Unfortunately, none of the items or equipment you collected during your initial playthrough will carry over.

However, once you've seen the credits roll and finished the main storyline, you're not done yet. The expansive open world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* remains at your fingertips. You can continue to explore Feudal Japan, tackle any remaining side quests, and hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and elusive animals.

So, even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of content to enjoy post-story. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story, there's less incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different paths. A single, thorough playthrough should allow you to fully experience what the game has to offer.

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