澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin’s Creed Mirage is going back to the series’ roots with an emphasis on stealthy stabbing andꦑ a leaner historical setting to explore. That smaller world is thankfully reflected in the game’s length, as Mirage will be around five times shorter than the last mammoth entry in the series, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. 

That’s according to Ubisoft’s lead producer Fabian Salomon who recently chatted with French YouTuber to talk about the up🧔coming Baghdad-based sequel. “Given that we do a lot of playtesting internally at Ubisoft, it’s part of our process, we really want to get as close as possible to the players, so we’ll say that the latest playtimes we’ve received average at around 20-23 hours,” said Salomon. “That can go up to 25-30 hours for the completionists, and we’ll say that thoꦿse who will be rushing the game will be around 20 hours.” Thanks to for the transcriptions. 

- the site that shows average playtime - sheds some light on how Mirage’s length compares to previous entries in the series. Both Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Odyssey can take around 140 hours to fully complete, while simply beating the main game takes between 45-60 hours. 

Mirage’s leaner 20-hour runtime should be encouraging to fans of the older, more꧙ traditional entries in Ubisoft’s ser🅺ies. Fan favourites Assassin’s Creed II and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag can be beaten in about 20-25 hours. No bloated open worlds in Mirage, then. Phew. 

Assassin’s Creed Mirage harkens back to that era in more ways than one, though. The game’s parkour system is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史𓆏查询:“closer to the Ezio games,” and its map is roughly the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:same size a♕s Revelations&rs🐽quo; Constantinople. Although the upcoming game is also 澳🎃洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:revamping much of what made the series beloved in the first place. 

Assassin’s Creed Mirage comes out on October 12th, close to other big releases such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. So the shor🅰ter playtime should ꦑhelp us get through all the exciting newness.
