New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress they achieved in their initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin's Creed Shadows* offers this feature, here's the rundown.
Does Assassin's Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. *Assassin's Creed Shadows* does not include a New Game Plus mode. To experience the story from the beginning, you'll need to start a fresh save file and begin anew. This means you won't be able to carry over any items or equipment from your first playthrough.
However, once you've completed the game and rolled the credits, you're still free to roam the expansive open world of Feudal Japan. You can tackle any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and animals. There's plenty of side content to explore even after the main story concludes, ensuring your adventure continues without the need for New Game Plus.
It's also worth noting that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings, and the impact of dialogue choices is minimal. Therefore, 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 enjoy what *Assassin's Creed Shadows* has to offer.
We hope this clarifies whether *Assassin's Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus. For more tips, information, and how to redeem your pre-order bonuses, be sure to check out The Escapist. They also provide a complete guide to all the main quests you need to complete to follow the story.
