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

If you're a fan of diving back into your favorite games with all your hard-earned progress intact, you might be curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers a new game plus feature. Let's dive into the details.

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

The short and simple answer is no—*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not include a new game plus mode. If you're itching to relive 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 initial playthrough.

However, don't let this discourage you. Once you've rolled the credits and completed the main storyline, you're free to continue exploring the vast open-world of Feudal Japan. There's still plenty to do, such as completing any remaining side quests, hunting down legendary gear, engravings, and unique animals scattered throughout the game world.

Even without new game plus, there's a wealth of side content to enjoy post-story completion. Since *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story, there's little incentive to replay the game just to explore different paths. A single thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience what the game has to offer.

So, to sum up, while *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not have a new game plus feature, the game still offers ample opportunities for continued exploration and enjoyment after the main story concludes. For more tips and detailed guides on *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a comprehensive list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
