To start the New Game+, go to the Memory Menu in the Animus after completing all journeys for Naoe, Yasuke, and Junjiro.

For completing a New Game+ playthrough, you will receive the Legendary Long Katana Whisper of Gold and Legendary Katana Dragon’s Gold. Both of them have their own unique perk engravings.

You can replay the story up to 8 times with New Game+. Each new playthrough increases the overall difficulty, making this the ultimate challenge for the most dedicated players.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows: What do you keep in New Game+

Knowledge Rank and Level Cap Increase

The level cap has been raised from 60 to 80. Meaning that the strongest enemies have improved tactics and awareness. To help you face these stronger enemies, the Knowledge Rank system has increased to 9 and 10. Players have more skills, passives, and combat techniques available.

For New Game+, players will gain 1 new rank for multiple nodes in their Mastery Skills, and 10 new ranks for all existing Knowledge passives to become even more formidable.

To match the increased level and ranks, you can now claim the following achievements and trophies:

Enjoy the Ride: Reach Level 80
Stars Unseen: Reach Knowledge Rank 10
Worth its Wait: Obtain the Gold Katana and Gold Long Katana (by completing the story on New Game+).

Improved Forge

Additionally, the Forge can now be upgraded up to level 4. With this, all your weapons and gear can be at level 80. It will cost you 1830 Crops, 1370 Wood, 460 Minerals and 4690 Mon.

This isn’t important just for this update, but for the upcoming expansion, which will release on September 16.

More currency and materials

Getting Mon through trading felt very underwhelming; buying was “ok”, but selling stuff felt like a rip-off. You got very little money, regardless of what you were selling.

This new patch is adjusting the amount of Mon for these trades. Purchasing items costs less, whereas selling items gives more.

You also get more resources from dismantled items. To match this, the amount of crafting materials needed to upgrade items has slightly increased.

Changes to allies and enemies

Your allies now scale better into the late game. Meaning that they have more health and damage as you level up. On the other side, Ronin enemies now have 4 Health Segments, instead of 3.
