Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Playthrough Duration Revealed

A 30-40 Hour Main Campaign Awaits

Prepare for an immersive journey! Creative Director Jonathan Dumont revealed during the Kyoto Showcase Event that Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) offers a substantial 30-40 hour main campaign. Beyond the core story, players can expect over 80 hours of engaging side content. Furthermore, the team is actively considering a highly requested New Game+ mode, a feature notably absent in AC Valhalla, much to the disappointment of many fans. This decision underscores the team's commitment to player feedback.

Dumont highlighted key features, including a dynamic world with realistic seasonal changes and weather systems, innovative gameplay mechanics, and a significantly expanded, customizable Hideout. The game also weaves a new Animus narrative that will have implications for future Assassin’s Creed titles.

A Japanese-Inspired Assassin's Creed

The development team’s passion for creating a Japan-centric Assassin’s Creed game is evident. Dumont explained that the technological capabilities to accurately depict Japan’s natural environment, coupled with a compelling narrative, finally made this long-held dream a reality.

Drawing inspiration from classic Japanese films like 13 Assassins, Sekigahara, Zatoichi, and the works of Kurosawa, the team has crafted a unique Assassin’s Creed experience. While acknowledging the online discourse surrounding the game, particularly concerning the portrayal of Yasuke, Dumont emphasized the team’s dedication to delivering a high-quality game that honors its Japanese influences.

Unveiling the Hideout: Your Customizable Sanctuary

The Secret Valley of Izumi Settsu

A March 5th, 2025, website post delved into the Hideout's features. Nestled within the secluded valley of Izumi Settsu province, this serves as the player's base of operations, where they cultivate their Brotherhood.

Systems Associate Director, Dany, described the Hideout as "pretty ambitious," highlighting the team’s commitment to innovation. Players receive a full acre of land for complete customization, allowing them to place buildings, pavilions, pathways, and even local flora and fauna. Dany emphasized the desire for players to truly personalize their Hideout, noting that customization options unlock progressively throughout the game, reflecting the player's journey.

A Brotherhood of Your Own Making

The Hideout houses various characters, each with their own backstories and challenges. Their placement within the Hideout influences their activities and interactions; for example, combat-oriented characters might frequent the Dojo, while others might enjoy a drink in the Zashiki. This dynamic design fosters unique dialogues and relationships, bringing the Hideout to life as a vibrant home for your allies. Dany highlighted the collaborative effort of writers from four different studios, who created compelling interactions based on scenarios like “What if these two characters suddenly became roommates?” This attention to detail ensures the Hideout feels like the beating heart of your burgeoning Brotherhood.

With its immersive world, engaging gameplay, and customizable Hideout, Assassin’s Creed Shadows promises a compelling and authentic Japanese-inspired Assassin’s Creed experience.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches March 20, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay informed on the latest news by checking out our dedicated article!
