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

Authore: RileyUpdate:Mar 16,2025

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, giving players a clearer idea of the time commitment.

Dumont previously compared Mirage to earlier titles like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, these games vary greatly in length, making the comparison less useful. Acknowledging the difficulty of precisely estimating playtime in an open-world game, Dumont clarified that Mirage is closer in scope to Origins. According to HowLongToBeat.com, Origins' main story takes around 30 hours, while completionists might spend over 80 hours.

For players worried about excessive playtime, Mirage offers a more balanced experience. In contrast, Valhalla faced criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential for 150+ hours of 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.
