If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes a New Game Plus feature, here's the scoop: Unfortunately, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not offer New Game Plus. This means if you want to dive back into the story from the start, you'll have to begin a new save file from scratch. None of the items or equipment you acquired during your first playthrough will carry over.
However, don't worry about running out of things to do once you've rolled the credits. After completing the main storyline, you're free to continue exploring the expansive world of Feudal Japan. You can tackle any remaining side quests, hunt for legendary gear, engravings, and even track down those elusive animals scattered throughout the game's vast landscape.
There's plenty of side content to keep you engaged post-storyline, and you don't need New Game Plus to enjoy it. Moreover, since *Shadows* doesn't feature multiple endings and your dialogue choices don't significantly impact the narrative, replaying the game through New Game Plus to explore different outcomes isn't necessary. A single thorough playthrough will allow you to experience everything the game has to offer.
So, to sum up, there's no New Game Plus in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, but there's still a lot to explore and enjoy after completing the main story.
