New Game Plus Feature in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Revealed!

New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress they achieved during their initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here's what you should know.

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 relive the story from the start, you'll have to begin a new save file and start over from scratch. Unfortunately, you won't be able to carry over any items or equipment from your first playthrough.

However, once you've finished the main storyline and seen the credits roll, you're still free to explore the game's open world. You can complete any remaining side quests and hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

There's a wealth of side content to enjoy even after you've completed the main narrative, and you don't need New Game Plus to continue your adventure. Additionally, since *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the story, there's little incentive to replay the game via New Game Plus to explore different narrative paths. A single, thorough playthrough should allow you to fully experience everything the game has to offer.

Hopefully, this clears up any questions about the presence of New Game Plus in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
