Assassin’s Creed Shadows: New Game Plus Revealed

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 short answer is no, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not include a New Game Plus mode. 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 keep any of the items or equipment you collected during your first playthrough.

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

Even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of side content to enjoy after finishing the main story. Given that *Shadows* doesn’t offer 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 the game.

Hopefully, this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers a New Game Plus feature. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests needed to follow the story, be sure to check out The Escapist.
