Its no secret that theAssassins Creed games have gotten longer and longer over the years. This is typical for Ubisoft open-world titles, but many are hoping that Assassins Creed Shadows has scaled back on the bloat a bit. Theres always fast travel and finding the fastest ways to earn XP to cut down on the grind, but theres only so much time that can be saved. If youre worried that this game might be another 100-hour time investment to fully complete, lets use our Eagle Vision to scout out how long Assassins Creed Shadows is before you start playing.UbisoftAs you would expect, the amount of time you could put into Assassins Creed Shadows will vary wildly based on how you approach it. You can focus on just the story and nothing else, tackle a handful of side missions and activities, or attempt to complete anything and everything the game has to offer.Recommended VideosFor just the mainline story, Assassins Creed Shadows is a fairly lengthy experience. You can expect this tale to take 25 to 30 hours, depending on your approach. Playing with Naoe and attempting to use stealth and stay undetected as opposed to rushing in as Yasuke will obviously result in longer missions.RelatedIf you were to add in a healthy mix of side content while playing, as we did, then you can increase that time to 40 to 50 hours, again depending entirely on how much side content you think is worthwhile. For the ultimate completionists out there, expect at least 60 hours worth of activities, collectibles, side quests, and optional content to tackle.Editors Recommendations
