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 by another 30-40 hours, for a total estimated playtime of around 80 hours. This information comes from an interview with journalist Genki, offering players a clearer picture of the game's time commitment.
Dumont previously compared Mirage to earlier titles like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. However, these games vary greatly in length, making the comparison less helpful. Acknowledging the challenge of estimating playtime in open-world games, Dumont clarified that Mirage shares a similar scope to Origins. According to HowLongToBeat.com, Origins' main story takes around 30 hours, while completionists can expect upwards of 80 hours.

For players worried about excessively long games, Mirage offers a more balanced experience. In contrast, Valhalla has faced criticism for its lengthy 60-hour main story and potential for 150+ hours of gameplay when all content is included. If Dumont's estimations are accurate, Mirage provides a more manageable yet fulfilling adventure.
