Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have New Game Plus?

In short, no. Assassin’s Creed Shadows does not offer a New Game Plus mode. To replay the story from the beginning, you’ll need to create a new save file and begin again without any of your previous items or gear.

However, after finishing the main story and seeing the credits, you can keep exploring the open world. This is your chance to complete any unfinished side quests, track down legendary equipment, rare engravings, and wildlife scattered throughout Feudal Japan.

So even after completing the main campaign, there’s still plenty of post-game content to enjoy without needing New Game Plus. What’s more, since Shadows doesn’t feature multiple endings and dialogue choices have little impact, there’s little incentive for a repeat playthrough. One thorough playthrough is enough to experience everything the game has to offer.

We hope this clarifies whether New Game Plus is available in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and guides, check out The Escapist—including how to claim pre-order bonuses and a full list of essential story missions.
