New Game Plus is a popular 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?
The straightforward answer is no, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not offer a New Game Plus mode. To experience the story again from the beginning, you'll need to start a new save file and begin from scratch. Unfortunately, you won't be able to carry over any items or equipment from your first playthrough.
However, once you've completed the game and seen the credits roll, you can continue exploring the open world. You'll have the chance to complete any remaining side quests, hunt down legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout the beautifully crafted setting of Feudal Japan.
There's still a wealth of side content to enjoy even after you've finished the main storyline, and you don't need New Game Plus to keep the adventure going. Additionally, since *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story, there's less incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different narrative paths. A single thorough playthrough should allow you to fully experience what the game has to offer.
We hope this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
