Creative director Jonathan Dumont has shed light on the anticipated playtime for Assassin's Creed Shadows, revealing that completing the core narrative will take players approximately 30 to 40 hours. For those eager to dive into all the optional content, an additional 30 to 40 hours can be expected, culminating in a total playtime of around 80 hours. This detailed insight was shared during an interview with journalist Genki, offering fans a clear picture of the time commitment required for this latest installment.
Dumont initially compared Shadows to earlier entries like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, given the significant variation in length among these games, such comparisons were not particularly helpful. Recognizing the challenges in measuring open-world game experiences, Dumont clarified his statement, highlighting that Shadows' scope is more akin to that of Origins. According to How Long To Beat, Origins requires about 30 hours for the main campaign and up to 80 hours for completionists.

For fans wary of excessively long gameplay, Shadows promises a more balanced experience. In comparison, Valhalla faced criticism for its 60-hour main story and a potential total of 150 hours when including all content. If Dumont’s estimates hold true, Shadows will provide a more manageable yet fulfilling adventure.
Mark your calendars—Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to launch on March 20th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
