Ubisoft has confirmed that the next big update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows<\/a> will drop next week, on the 29th July.<\/p>\n

The introduction of an extensive-sounding New Game+ mode is the headline act here, allowing players to restart the game (having already finished it at least once) with all of their character progression and equipment intact.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick breakdown of what carries over in New Game+:<\/p>\n

Character level
\nEquipment
\nKnowledge rank
\nHideout progression<\/p>\n

Those who complete a New Game+ run are being promised exclusive rewards, by the way. We assume they’ll be in the form of unique gear and skins. New Trophies are being thrown into the deal as well.<\/p>\n

On top of New Game+, the patch will increase the level cap for all players. It’s going from 60 to 80, and the jump brings with it new Knowledge ranks, new Mastery and Knowledge skill ranks, and new upgrades for your hideout facilities.<\/p>\n

\"Assassin's<\/a><\/p>\n

Furthermore, a new Project’s being added, which the developer is keen to stress will not cancel or remove your progress through previous challenges. In other words, you’ll be able to move on to it at any time.<\/p>\n

Then there are the smaller improvements, coming a bit later, in September. These include being able to unfog the entire map by finding all viewpoints, and having the ability to move the in-game time forward.<\/p>\n

And speaking of September, the game’s first expansion, Claws of Awaji<\/a>, launches on the 16th.<\/p>\n

So, some big news for fans of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but will you be taking a trip back to Japan for New Game+?
