New Game+ (NG+) has arrived to Assassin's Creed Shadows, allowing you to reset your story and objective board progression. Additionally, you'll need to rediscover every location again. But, you'll keep your current character level, your gear, skill points, knowledge rank, and Hideout Progression.
Additionally, the player has a choice of where they want to begin their New Game+ experience. Start from the very beginning, or skip the prologue up until the moment when Naoe inherits her hideout. Overall, that will skip many of the beginning tutorials.
Assassin's Creed Shadows also increased its level cap to 80. This means new Knowledge Ranks along with a new Mastery. Additionally, there is a new level for the Forge.
In September, we'll see even more improvements come to the game. Firstly, the game will introduce various quality of life improvements. PC players can have uncapped framerates for cutscenes, while everyone will have the ability to skip the time of day.
But the bigger additions include a new Forge Upgrade level to reach the following equipment rarities:
- Mythic (From Epic)
- Artifact (From Legendary)
Lastly, Assassin Creed Shadows' Claws of Awaji Expansion caps off this Summer Roadmap, and it arrives on September 16th, 2025. Learn more about the story and gameplay of this upcoming expansion.
Overall, that includes all the major details about the Assassin's Creed Shadows Summer Roadmap. We look forward to trying out the upcoming expansion, as well as everything else in between.
