Does Assassin's Creed Odyssey Have New Game Plus?
Yes, Assassin's Creed Odyssey does have New Game Plus! It isn't available until you've completed the game in one form or another, but players who reach one of the game's endings will be able to play a new game with their upgraded weapons and skills from the start.
How to Start New Game Plus
Once you've unlocked it, players will be able to start New Game Plus from the pause menu, the option now clearly visible. You will have to be in the loaded save file you wish to carry equipment over though - you can't start it from the main menu.
What Carries Over into New Game Plus?
The following gameplay factors carry over from your first game to New Game Plus:
- Abilities
- Gear levels
- Inventory
- Lieutenants
- Orichalcum
- Player level

Another feature of New Game Plus is enemy scaling, meaning that whatever level you're at, you're always likely to have a substantial challenge, and that equipped gear and abilities are more important than your level.

Can You Change Between Alexios and Kassandra in New Game Plus?
Yes, you can! Players will be able to repeat and change choices they made in the previous game, essentially starting the story from scratch, and which character you play as is one of those choices. It won't impact what abilities or equipment you can have, only changing a few very minor story elements and what kind of performance the two characters give.
