New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress they earned in their first playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers 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 relive the story from the beginning, you'll 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 initial playthrough.
However, once you've completed the game and rolled the credits, you're free to continue exploring the expansive open world. 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 Feudal Japan.
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 feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices have minimal impact, there's little incentive to replay the game in a New Game Plus mode to explore different narrative paths. A single, thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience the game.
We hope this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers New Game Plus. For more tips and details about the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to visit The Escapist.
