New Game Plus is a beloved feature in many modern games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress from their first playthrough. If you're eager to know whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here's the scoop you need.

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

The straightforward answer is no, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not offer New Game Plus. To relive the story from the start, you'll have to begin a new save file and build everything from the ground up. Unfortunately, none of the items or equipment you acquired during your initial playthrough will carry over.

However, once you've seen the credits roll and completed the main storyline, you're not left without options. You can continue to explore the vast open world of Feudal Japan. This gives you the perfect chance to finish any lingering side quests and hunt for the remaining legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout the landscape.

There's a wealth of side content to dive into even after you've conquered the main story, and you don't need New Game Plus to keep the adventure going. It's worth noting that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings, and the impact of your dialogue choices is minimal. Therefore, there's less incentive to replay the game through New Game Plus to explore different narrative paths. A single, thorough playthrough should be enough to fully experience what the game has to offer.

So, that's the lowdown on whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus. For more tips and detailed information about the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a guide to all the main quests needed to complete the story, be sure to check out The Escapist.
