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 playtime, making direct comparisons less useful. Acknowledging the challenge of estimating playtime in open-world games, Dumont clarified that Mirage is closer in 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 excessively long games, Mirage offers a more balanced experience. Valhalla, for example, faced criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential for 150+ hours of total playtime. If Dumont's projections are accurate, Mirage provides a more focused yet rewarding experience.
