Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Campaign Is As Long As Valhalla

Expert Verified By

AC Shadows To Feature 40+ Hours Length Campaign!

Story Highlight
  • Devs confirmed in a Q&A that Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ campaign length is similar to that of AC Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
  • You will need to invest 30 to 60 hours to complete the campaign and experience most of the game.
  • Because of such a huge campaign, some fans are concerned that AC Shadows may feel barren and bloated.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been under heavy scrutiny ever since it was revealed, receiving criticisms due to concerns about historical accuracy and a COD-like battle pass that no one expected.

On the flip side, fans are also excited to finally have a AAA-size title set in Japan. Despite the split in opinions, it’s clear that many eyes are watching to see how well the RPG performs after launch.

While its campaign was always expected to be pretty huge, devs have now confirmed it’s similar in size to that of AC Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. 

Why it matters: AC Shadows having a campaign length similar to the series’ most criticized releases suggests it might also be heading towards a similar path. 

Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed to come out next year on Steam day 1.
AC Shadows’ success is paramount to ensure Ubisoft’s longevity in the gaming industry.

During a Reddit Q&A, Assassin’s Creed Shadows creative director Jonathan Dumont revealed that we’re getting a pretty huge AC experience after the bite-sized campaign of Mirage. In other words, you need 30 to 60 hours to experience most of what Shadows has to offer.

I think Shadows’ main journey is comparable to Origins/Odyssey and Valhalla.

Additionally, the dev confirmed that choices are indeed present in AC Shadows; some have an impact, but they play less of a branching role than Odyssey for the core narrative.

Overall, fans’ reactions to the big reveal have been mixed. Some feel the long campaign might be repetitive and bloated, while others disagree.

Do you think the AC Shadows campaign will end up as a repetitive experience like AC Valhalla, or will it live up to the fans’ expectations? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
