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

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey 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 everything you need to 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're interested in reliving the story from the start, you'll need to begin a new save file and start 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 the credits, you'll still have the freedom to explore the expansive open world. This means you can complete any remaining side quests, hunt for the remaining legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

There's no shortage of side content to engage with even after finishing the main storyline, and you don't need New Game Plus to continue enjoying the game. It's also worth noting that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings, and your dialogue choices have minimal impact on the overall narrative. Therefore, there's little incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single thorough playthrough should be sufficient to fully experience *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

We hope this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes a New Game Plus feature. 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.
