Yes, they will shift north.

When you observe the night sky from a higher latitude (further north), the constellations visible in the sky will shift accordingly. Some constellations that are normally visible at lower latitudes may be hidden below the horizon, while others that are typically not seen at lower latitudes may become visible.
