New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey while retaining all their levels, equipment, and progress from their initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin's Creed Shadows* offers this feature, here's the scoop you need.
The simple answer is no, *Assassin's Creed Shadows* does not include a New Game Plus mode. If you wish to experience the story from the beginning, you'll have to start a new save file and begin from scratch. None of the items or equipment you earned in your first playthrough will carry over.
However, once you've rolled the credits and completed the main storyline, you're free to continue exploring the expansive open world. This allows you to complete any remaining side quests and hunt for the remaining legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout Feudal Japan.
Even without New Game Plus, there's a wealth of side content to enjoy post-storyline. 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 to explore different paths. A single, thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience what the game has to offer.
So, there you have it—no New Game Plus in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more tips, tricks, and detailed information on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a comprehensive list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
