The Assassin's Creed Shadows story is set to last anywhere between 30 - 60 hours, according to the game's creative director.

For me, I think Assassin’s Creed Origins is a game that strikes the right ... buy gold to gamble with the game’s singular loot box, you can also just flat-out buy legendary weapons outright ...

Its release came at a difficult time for the Assassin's Creed franchise overall - a year after the disaster that was Unity, and while work to softly reboot the series with Origins had already begun.
