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 achieved in their initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, let's dive into the details.

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not offer a New Game Plus mode. To relive the story from the beginning, you'll need to create a fresh save file and start anew. None of the items or equipment you acquired in your first playthrough will carry over.

However, once you've completed the main storyline and the credits roll, you're free to continue exploring the expansive open world. You can tackle any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan. There's a wealth of side content to enjoy even after finishing the main narrative.

Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story, there's minimal incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different paths. A single thorough playthrough will allow you to fully experience what the game has to offer.

So, while *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* lacks a New Game Plus feature, the game still provides ample opportunities for continued exploration and enjoyment post-story completion.
