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, providing 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 challenge of 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 spending upwards of 80 hours.

For players worried about excessively long RPGs, Mirage offers a more balanced experience. In contrast, Valhalla has been criticized for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potentially 150+ hours of total gameplay. If Dumont's projections are accurate, Mirage provides a more manageable yet fulfilling adventure.

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