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

Assassin's Creed Shadows: A More Manageable Adventure?

Creative director Jonathan Dumont has shed light on the anticipated playtime for Assassin's Creed Shadows. He estimates completing the main story will take approximately 30-40 hours, with an additional 30-40 hours needed to fully explore all optional content, totaling around 80 hours. This information comes from an interview with journalist Genki.

Dumont previously compared Shadows to earlier titles like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, given the significant length variations between those games, this comparison proved less helpful. He clarified that Shadows' scope is more akin to Origins, which, according to How Long To Beat, requires roughly 30 hours for the main story and up to 80 hours for completionists.

This suggests a more balanced experience compared to the extensive playtime of Valhalla, which has faced criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential for a staggering 150-hour playthrough. If Dumont's estimations hold true, Shadows offers a potentially more concise yet fulfilling journey.

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