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 another 30-40 hours, for a total of roughly 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, these games vary greatly in length, making direct comparisons less helpful. Acknowledging the challenge of estimating playtime in open-world games, Dumont clarified that Mirage shares a similar scope to Origins. According to HowLongToBeat.com, Origins' main story takes around 30 hours, with completionists potentially investing over 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 a potential 150-hour completion time. If Dumont's estimations are accurate, Mirage provides a more manageable yet fulfilling journey.

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