New Game Plus Feature in Assassin's Creed Shadows Revealed

New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their adventure with all the levels, equipment, and progress they've earned from their initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether Assassin's Creed Shadows includes this feature, here's the lowdown:

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 create a new save file and begin anew. Unfortunately, you won't be able to carry over any of the items or equipment you acquired during your first playthrough.

However, once you've seen the credits roll and completed the main storyline, you're free to continue exploring the expansive world of Feudal Japan. You can still tackle any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and discover the last of the unique animals scattered throughout the game.

So, even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of content to enjoy post-story. Given that Shadows doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices have minimal impact on 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.
