"Assassin's Creed Shadows: Full Completion Estimated at 80 Hours"
Creative director Jonathan Dumont has shared exciting details about the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, revealing that players can expect to spend around 30 to 40 hours to complete the core narrative. For those looking to dive deeper into the game's world, exploring all the optional content could extend the playtime by another 30 to 40 hours, culminating in a total experience of approximately 80 hours. These insights were disclosed during an interview with journalist Genki, offering fans a clear picture of the time commitment required for this highly anticipated title.
Initially, Dumont likened Shadows to previous entries in the series like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, given the significant variations in length among these games, such comparisons were somewhat vague. Recognizing the challenge of quantifying the experience in an open-world game, Dumont refined his comparison, specifically highlighting that Shadows aligns more closely with the scope of Origins. According to How Long To Beat, completing the main campaign of Origins takes about 30 hours, while a full completion can take upwards of 80 hours.

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