Starting A New Save Without Losing Progress In The First Save

[Azrael]

So I was thinking I could back-up my save files, then turn off cloud-sync. Then delete the save in-game. Will I be able to play my old save again if I replace the new save with the old one and turn on cloud sync again?

I want to experience the story again because it has been a while since I last played. And since NG+ is out of the question...

This has prevented me from wanting to play the game again because there is no new game plus and i can only have 1 save its really stupid.

It worked, and I was able to reload my old save this way too. Here's what I did:

1. I backed up all files in the AppData saves and the Remote save.
- Remote: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YOUR ID>\356190\remote
- AppData: C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\WB Games\Shadow of War
2. Disabled Cloudsync via Steam
- Right-Click the Game > Properties > Updates > Un-check Cloudsync
3. Start the game and delete your current save.

Now you can start over, but keep Cloudsync disabled while on this new save or it'll be overwritten by the old one. When you want to play your old save again, simply undo all in these steps. Don't forget Cloudsync, it's probably the most important part.

EDIT: About NG+, I read that there will not be a New Game+ for Shadow of War, ever. Had something to do with the online leaderboard.

If anyone doesn't want to start a new save because they have good orcs, you can always send them to the Garisson. When you start a new save, everything gets wiped except for the Garisson, unopened chests or boosts etc. Unless of course it bugs out..
