How Many Chapters Are There in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

How long is the new Assassin’s Creed game? Take a look at the Chapters and main story missions in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has divided its main story into various “Chapters.” These are not “missions” or “quests” themselves but a sequence of memories. If you have been a long-running fan of these Animus-based video games, you are probably already familiar with the sequences in each AC title. This time around, these sequences have names to give them a cinematic touch. But how many are there?

All Chapters and Missions in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

According to our experience, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is much longer than Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which was the last installment in the series. A completionist can expect to spend around 75 hours in the game, while an average player might complete the game in 35 hours. There will be a lot of side quests and activities for players to enjoy during this time. However, the 14 Chapters mark the main missions in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and they go as follows:
