How long is Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Assassin’s Creed Shadows main story takes around 35 to 60 hours to complete.
If you are just focusing on the main story and are not like me who does a quest and then wanders around for hours before heading to the next quest, it should take you anywhere around 35 to 45 hours to complete the story.

There’s also a good chunk of side content that the game offers.
To a similar scale as we saw with past releases like Valhalla and Odyssey.
So, if you want to complete everything that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has to offer, it will take you 80 to 100+ hours.

That being said, for Platinum, it should take you around 50 to 60 hours.
Though as you may know, it greatly depends on player to player basis.
