"Assassin's Creed Shadows: Full Completion Estimated at 80 Hours"

Creative director Jonathan Dumont has shared that completing the main storyline of Assassin's Creed Shadows will take players around 30 to 40 hours. For those eager to dive into the game's full breadth, including all the optional content, an additional 30 to 40 hours could be expected, leading to a comprehensive playtime of approximately 80 hours. This detailed insight was revealed during an interview with journalist Genki, offering players a clear expectation of their time investment.

Dumont initially likened Shadows to earlier titles such as Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, given the substantial differences in length among these games, the comparison was less informative. Recognizing the challenge in measuring open-world game durations, Dumont clarified that Shadows aligns more closely with Origins in terms of scope. Data from How Long To Beat indicates that Origins requires about 30 hours for the main campaign and can extend up to 80 hours for those aiming for completion.

For fans wary of excessively long games, Shadows seems poised to offer a more manageable yet enriching experience. In comparison, Valhalla faced backlash for its 60-hour main story and a daunting 150-hour total when including all content. If Dumont's estimates hold true, Shadows promises a well-balanced adventure.
