New Game Plus is a popular feature in many modern video games, allowing players to restart their journey with all the levels, equipment, and progress they achieved in their initial playthrough. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes this feature, here's what you should 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. To experience the story from the beginning, you'll 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 can continue to explore the expansive open-world of Feudal Japan. This gives you the chance to complete any remaining side quests and hunt for the rest of the legendary gear, engravings, and animals scattered throughout the game.

Even without New Game Plus, there's still a wealth of side content to enjoy after finishing the main storyline. Given that *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact 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.

We hope this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes New Game Plus. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses and a complete list of main quests, be sure to check out The Escapist.
