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

If you're a fan of diving back into games with a new game plus feature, which lets you restart with all your previous progress intact, you might be curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers this. 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 feature new game plus. If you're eager to relive the story from the beginning, you'll have 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 initial playthrough.

However, once you've rolled the credits and completed the main storyline, the game opens up for further exploration. You'll have the freedom to roam the expansive open world, complete any remaining side quests, and hunt down additional legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

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

So, if you were wondering about new game plus in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, that's the rundown. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to redeem pre-order bonuses and a complete guide to the main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
