New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey with all their hard-earned levels, equipment, and progress intact. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here's the scoop.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?
Unfortunately, the short 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. None of the items or equipment you collected during your first playthrough will carry over.
However, once you've completed the game and rolled the credits, you're not done yet. You can continue exploring the expansive open world of Feudal Japan. This gives you the perfect opportunity to complete any remaining side quests and hunt for the legendary gear, engravings, and animals that are scattered throughout the game.
So, even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of content to enjoy post-game. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and the dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story, there's less incentive to replay the game to explore different paths. A single thorough playthrough should be enough to experience everything the game has to offer.
We hope this clears up any questions you had about New Game Plus in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
