Post-launch work maintains positive Steam ratings. Ubisoft said ongoing support has helped keep a "Very Positive" rating from English reviews on Steam. Reviews in all languages currently sit at "Mostly Positive."
Guess we'll have to keep the adventures going with New Game+ later on, mates.

Knight said in the interview, "Yes, we're working on that right now. For sure. It's one of the first things. Partly because Shadows has already built their version, so it's considered a low-risk feature for us." He added that he could not promise a specific release date but confirmed the team is actively developing it.
