New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey while retaining all levels, equipment, and progress from their initial playthrough. However, if you're eager to know whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here's what you need to understand.
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 create a new save file and begin from scratch. Unfortunately, none of the items or equipment you collected during your first playthrough will carry over.
However, once you've completed the main storyline and rolled the credits, you're still welcome to explore the expansive open-world of Feudal Japan. This gives you ample opportunity to finish any remaining side quests and hunt for the remaining legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout the game.
Even without New Game Plus, there's a wealth of side content to enjoy after finishing the main story. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and the impact of dialogue choices is minimal, there's little incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different narrative paths. A single thorough playthrough should be enough 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 comprehensive list of all main quests required for the story, be sure to check out The Escapist.
