New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart the game while retaining their levels, equipment, and progress from the initial playthrough. 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 offer a New Game Plus mode. If you wish to experience the story again from the beginning, you will need 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 first playthrough.

However, once you've completed the game and rolled the credits, you'll still have the opportunity to explore the expansive open world. You can continue to tackle any remaining side quests, and hunt down the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered across Feudal Japan.

So, even without New Game Plus, there's plenty of side content to enjoy post-story. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative, there's less incentive to replay the game with New Game Plus to explore different story paths. A single thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience what the game has to offer.

I hope this answers your question about New Game Plus in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a guide to all the main quests needed for the story, be sure to check out The Escapist.
