How long is Assassin's Creed Shadows?

Assassin's Creed Shadows' story is 50-60 hours long, as confirmed via our review playthrough. However, considering the slew of side content leftover, you'll comfortably be able to sink at least 80 hours into it all told.

This aligns with the 30-60-hour estimate we initially offered, which was based on a comment made by creative director Jonathan Dumont in a December 2024 Reddit AMA.
