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 the 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 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 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, while completionists can easily spend over 80 hours.

For players worried about an excessively long game, Mirage appears to offer a more balanced experience. In contrast, Valhalla received criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential for 150+ hours of total gameplay. If Dumont's projection is accurate, Mirage provides a more manageable, yet still rewarding, adventure.

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