For players who live under a rock, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the 14th major installment in the long-running Assassin’s Creed franchise.

We finally have an Assassin’s Creed game set in Japan.

In the wake of that and the fact that most of us gamers love the Japanese culture, samurai, assassins, and everything else, many players are looking forward to playing Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Among them, we also have the completionists who always aim for that shiny Platinum trophy on PlayStation and the 100% achievement mark on Xbox and PC.

There are a total of 55 trophies and achievements in the game.

Of these, we have:

• 43 Bronze trophies

• 1 Gold trophy and
• 1 Platinum

That being said, out of the 55 trophies and achievements, 22 are hidden.

How many playthroughs it takes to Platinum Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

You can unlock all the trophies and achievements in the game in a single playthrough.

There are no missable trophies.

So, if you are looking for Platinum, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be an easy one compared to other titles.

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.

Are there any difficult trophies and achievements in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

There are no super difficult trophies and achievements in the game.

Most are straightforward, with a few hidden ones being slightly difficult to unlock.

But with proper details on the unlock criteria, it’s a lot easier.
