New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video 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 the essential information you need.
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 anew, you'll need to create a fresh save file and start from the beginning. Unfortunately, you won't be able to carry over any items or equipment from your first playthrough.
However, once you've completed the main storyline 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 that you might have missed during your initial playthrough.
Even without New Game Plus, there's a wealth of side content to enjoy post-story completion. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and the dialogue choices have minimal impact on the overall narrative, there's less incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single thorough playthrough should allow you to experience everything the game has to offer.
Hopefully, this clears up any questions about the availability of New Game Plus in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
