Is There New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

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

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not include a new game plus mode. If you're looking to relive the story from the start, you'll have to begin a new save file from scratch. None of the items or equipment you acquired during your initial playthrough will carry over.

However, once you've completed the main storyline and seen the credits roll, you're still in for a treat. The game allows you to continue exploring its expansive open world. You can tackle any remaining side quests, hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and even encounter the unique animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

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

We hope this clears up whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes new game plus. For more tips, guides, and details on how to make the most of your gameplay, including redeeming pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
