Creative director Jonathan Dumont has shed light on the playtime expectations for Assassin's Creed Shadows, revealing in an interview with journalist Genki that completing the core narrative will take approximately 30 to 40 hours. For those looking to dive deeper into the game's world, exploring all the optional content could add an additional 30 to 40 hours, leading to a total playtime of around 80 hours. This insight offers valuable clarity for players planning their time commitment.
Dumont had previously compared Shadows to earlier titles like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, given the significant differences in length among these games, these comparisons were somewhat vague. Recognizing the challenge of quantifying open-world experiences, Dumont refined his statement, emphasizing that Shadows shares a similar scope to 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 worried about excessively long gameplay, Shadows seems to strike a better balance. In comparison, Valhalla has faced criticism for its demanding 60-hour main story and a staggering potential of 150 hours when including all content. If Dumont's estimates hold true, Shadows promises a more digestible yet richly rewarding experience.
Mark your calendars—Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to release on March 20th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
