How long is Assassin's Creed Shadows?: Is Assassins Shadows

Wondering how long Assassin's Creed Shadows is? Get the estimated playtime for the main story (30-40 hours) and 100% completion (115+ hours).

So, you're curious about how much time you'll be sinking into Assassin's Creed Shadows? That's a great question! It really depends on how you like to play.

If you're planning to just blast through the main story, you're looking at roughly 30 to 40 hours. Now, it's a bit tricky to *only* do the main story because the game will sometimes bump up the level requirements for certain areas. This means you'll likely need to dip into some side quests or other activities to keep your character strong enough to progress. You could shave off a few hours by skipping the cutscenes, but honestly, the story is where this game really shines, so I'd recommend soaking it all in.

This playtime estimate is pretty solid, and it's even been hinted at by some of the developers themselves. Creative director Jonathan Dumont mentioned that the main journey in Shadows is comparable to games like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. For reference, Origins took us about 30 hours for the main story, Odyssey was around 45, and Valhalla clocked in at a hefty 55 hours if you were mostly sticking to the main quests.

Now, if you're the type of player who wants to see and do absolutely everything – every collectible, every side mission, just *everything* – then you're in for a much longer haul. Expect to spend well over 115 hours to achieve 100% completion in Assassin's Creed Shadows. There's a ton of content packed into Feudal Japan, so it'll definitely keep you busy!
