Assassin's Creed Shadows Estimated to Take 80 Hours for Full Completion

Jonathan Dumont, Creative Director, has revealed that completing Assassin's Creed Mirage's main story will take approximately 30-40 hours. Adding in all optional content could double that playtime, resulting in a total of roughly 60-80 hours. This estimate comes from an interview with journalist Genki, offering players a clearer picture of the game's time commitment.

Dumont previously compared Mirage to earlier titles like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, the significant differences in length between those games made this comparison less helpful. Acknowledging the challenges of estimating playtime in open-world games, Dumont clarified that Mirage is closer in scope to Origins. According to HowLongToBeat.com, Origins' main story takes about 30 hours, while completionists can easily spend 80+ hours.

For players worried about excessively long games, Mirage seems to offer a more balanced experience. In contrast, Valhalla has faced criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential for a staggering 150-hour completion. If Dumont's estimations are accurate, Mirage provides a more manageable yet fulfilling adventure.

Mark your calendars! Assassin's Creed Mirage launches March 20th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
