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 extend playtime to a total of 80 hours. This estimate comes from an interview with journalist Genki, offering players a clearer picture of the game's length.

Dumont previously compared Mirage to earlier titles like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, these games vary greatly in length, making direct comparisons less useful. Acknowledging the difficulty in precisely estimating playtime in an open-world game, Dumont clarified that Mirage shares a similar scope to Origins. According to HowLongToBeat.com, Origins' main story takes around 30 hours, with completionists needing upwards of 80 hours.

For players concerned about excessively long games, Mirage appears to offer a more balanced experience. In contrast, Valhalla faced criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential 150-hour playtime including all content. If Dumont's projections 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.
