New Game Plus in Assassin's Creed Shadows: Revealed!

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey while retaining all levels, equipment, and progress from their 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?

The short answer is no, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not offer a New Game Plus mode. To experience the story again from the beginning, you will need to start a new save file and begin from scratch, without retaining any items or equipment from your first playthrough.

However, once you've completed the main storyline and rolled credits, you can continue to explore the expansive open-world of Feudal Japan. This allows you to complete any remaining side quests and hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout the game.

Even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of side content to enjoy after finishing the main story. Given that *Shadows* does not feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices have minimal impact on the narrative, there's little incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single thorough playthrough should be sufficient to fully experience what the game has to offer.

We 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 complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
