How long is Assassin's Creed Shadows? Ubisoft's storied RPG series is finally taking us to Japan, as we follow assassin Naoe and samurai Yasuke through the twilight years of the Sengoku period. Considering how long fans have waited to live out their ultimate shinobi fantasy, hopes are high for plenty of content to dive into.
While Assassin's Creed Shadows didn't spark joy in our AC Shadows review, there is, at least, plenty for you to do - its main story won't pass you by in a flash, that's for sure. Following the footsteps of its open-world predecessors, the Assassin's Creed Shadows length won't disappoint.
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.
"I think Shadows' main journey is comparable to Origins/Odyssey and Valhalla [in length]," Dumont states. Origins' narrative reaches its apex at around the 30-hour mark, while Valhalla will set you back 60. Considering the Assassin's Creed Shadows map is comparable in scale to Origins', it's unsurprising that we made it through in just over 50 hours.
And that's everything you need to know about the Assassin's Creed Shadows length. With Shadows now in the light, check out our comprehensive AC Shadows guides hub for all things Shadows.
