Jonathan Dumont, Creative Director, has revealed that completing Assassin's Creed Mirage's main story will take approximately 30-40 hours. Adding in all optional content could extend playtime to a total of 80 hours. This estimate comes from an interview with journalist Genki, offering players a clearer idea of the game's time commitment.
Dumont previously compared Mirage to earlier titles like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, due to the significant differences in length between those games, this comparison proved less helpful. Acknowledging the challenges of estimating playtime in open-world games, Dumont clarified that Mirage is closer in scope to Origins. According to HowLongToBeat.com, Origins' main story takes around 30 hours, with completionists potentially spending over 80 hours.

For players concerned about excessively long games, Mirage appears to offer a more balanced experience. In contrast, Valhalla faced criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential 150-hour playtime including all content. If Dumont's projections are accurate, Mirage provides a more manageable yet richly rewarding experience.
Mark your calendars! Assassin's Creed Mirage launches March 20th on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
