New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Confirmed?

New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress they earned during their 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 feature New Game Plus. To experience the story anew, you'll need to start a completely fresh save file, beginning from scratch without retaining any items or equipment from your first playthrough.

However, once you've completed the game and rolled the credits, you can continue to explore the expansive open world of Feudal Japan. This gives you the chance to finish any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and animals, ensuring there's still plenty to do post-story.

Given that *Shadows* doesn't offer multiple endings and dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative, the need for a New Game Plus to explore different paths is minimal. A single, thorough playthrough should allow you to fully enjoy the game's offerings.

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