This guide explains if AC Valhalla has a New Game Plus mode.

Ubisoft recently announced a brand new slate of Assassin’s Creed games. And because of that, many gamers are revisiting older titles in the series.

The previous entry – Assassin’s Creed Valhalla – dropped almost two years ago. It was a controversial game. Many loved it because of its detailed and faithful recreation of the Viking Age.

However, its drawn-out length and repetitive gameplay was criticised. And while the game was an undeniable success for Ubisoft, these factors certainly put some people off playing it.

But with renewed interest in Valhalla comes many questions from players who are jumping back in or playing it for the first time.

If you’ve completed AC Valhalla before, you may be wondering if you can start the game again without losing any progression or gear. After all, I can’t imagine many players will be wanting to restart it from scratch given its excessive length.

That would make something like New Game Plus pretty appealing.

As you probably know, New Game Plus (NG+) is a popular mode in video games which lets you replay a game from the beginning with things like existing progression and items carried over.

So, does AC Valhalla have New Game Plus? Keep reading below to find out…

Does Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Have New Game Plus?

Are you keen to step into Eivor’s boots again and replay Valhalla‘s epic (albeit VERY long) Viking adventure? But are you dreading the prospect of having to unlock all your gear and level up again? Well, New Game Plus would be the perfect solution.

That means you probably want to know if Assassin’s Creed Valhalla even includes this mode.

Does AC Valhalla have New Game Plus? No – Assassin’s Creed Valhalla does not have a New Game Plus mode.

Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey both received updates adding New Game Plus. However, no plans for a NG+ mode in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla have been officially announced by Ubisoft.

Having said that, some rumours suggest New Game Plus may form part of the game’s final update. It is thought this update may arrive in late-2022.

    Yes I would love to play the game again with all that I’ve collected over the past 2 years, I tried playing it again from scratch other than the dlc’s I got and I just didn’t want to put in the same effort as I already did, new game plus gives me the chance to just enjoy the game and not have to grind and miss out on the beautiful layout of the game. I love the design Ubisoft put into this game I may have some critique opinions but to me it doesn’t matter Because over all I loved the game. So I would love a NG+ mode to Valhalla

    Yes I would like for assassin’s Creed Valhalla to have a new game plus mode because with all the cool weapons I have a hard time choosing from to play with even the gear and I would hate to go all over again just to find all that good stuff

    Yes, I would love to have a NG+ option in Valhalla. I have already beaten Origins and Odyssey twice using that feature and want the opportunity to do the same with Valhalla
