Is There New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern 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 New Game Plus, 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. To experience the story again from the beginning, you will 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 main story and rolled the credits, you can continue to explore the open world. This gives you the chance to complete any remaining side quests and hunt for the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

There's still a wealth of side content to enjoy even after finishing the main storyline, and you don't need New Game Plus to keep playing. Additionally, since *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative, there's little incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience the game.

So, that's the scoop on New Game Plus in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more tips and information, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a guide to all the main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
