New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey while retaining all their levels, equipment, and progress. If you're curious about whether Assassin’s Creed Shadows includes this feature, here's what you need to know.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?
The straightforward answer is, no. Assassin’s Creed Shadows does not include a New Game Plus mode. If you're eager to dive back into 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 seen the credits roll and completed the game, you're not done yet. You can continue exploring the expansive open world of Feudal Japan. This gives you ample opportunity to complete any remaining side quests, hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout the game world.
So, even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of content to explore after the main story concludes. Since Shadows doesn't feature multiple endings and dialogue choices have minimal impact, there's little incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different narrative paths. A single, thorough playthrough should allow you to fully experience everything Assassin’s Creed Shadows has to offer.
We hope this clears up any questions about the absence of New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more insights and tips on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a comprehensive guide to all the main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
