Let’s set things straight. How many hours do you spend finishing your favorite video game? Or, should the question be, how many days, weeks, or months does it take to complete the whole game? Guilty as charged. You usually cannot finish a game in just one sitting. 

Take “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla” for instance, the longest “Assassin’s Creed” game to beat. It can take roughly 60 hours to finish the whole story. For sure, you cannot play for 60 straight hours, or your console will crash. This game and more in this list of every “Assassin’s Creed” game ranked according to how long it takes to beat them. 

60 Hours (61, According To Game Rant)

‘Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’

Launched in 2020, “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla” is set in 872 to 878 AD, the Middle Ages in world history. It recounts a Viking fantasy story during their heyday on the British Isles. As you play, you get to control Eivor Varinsdottir, a Viking raider who becomes embroiled in the centuries-spanning conflict between the Assassin’s Brotherhood, all the while attempting to build a new Viking clan in England. He also struggles to achieve peace and liberty, so he also finds himself embroiled in a conflict with the Templar Order, the group which desires peace through control. One of the reasons why it takes this long to beat is that the game also has a framing story set in the present time, following Layla Hassan, an Assassin who relives Varinsdottir’s memories to find a way to rescue Mother Earth from destruction. 

50 Hours

‘Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection’

“Live the life of Ezio, learn the ways of the Assassins, and get vengeance for the betrayal of your family through 15th-century Renaissance Italy,” says the game’s official website. From the Medieval Ages to the Renaissance era, “Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection,” as its name implies, comprises three remastered versions of the “Assassin’s Creed” games, namely “Ezio Auditore da Firenze: Assassin’s Creed II,” “Assassin’s Creed: Revelations,” and “Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.” These three games feature enhanced graphics, effects, lighting, and textures, which include all released downloadable content from previous editions for single-player mode. This may be a reason why it takes about 50 hours to finish the game. Whoa. 

45.5 Hours

‘Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’

Third on the list is a game that will take you to ancient Greece. Like the previous game in the series, “Odyssey” features a vast open world that incorporates several elements from the role-playing side of the game series, emphasizing combat and exploration more than stealth. Furthermore, naval combat from past titles in this series also plays a crucial role in this game. 

The story revolves around the mythological history of the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens from 431 to 422 BC. As you game, you control a Spartan mercenary who participates on both sides of the war as they attempt to look for their family and eliminate the mysterious Kosmos Cult once and for all. Remember Hassan from the first game on this list? This character is also here as this game continues their story arc, but this time, they relive the mercenary’s memories via the Animus device to find a potent artifact. With this thrill of a story, you wouldn’t mind completing those hours, would you? 

40 Hours

‘Assassin’s Creed: Pirates’

Next up is “Assassin’s Creed: Pirates.” This game follows the story of Captain Alonzo Batilla, who is neither an Assassin nor a Templar but commands a ship and crew while crossing paths with those two groups. The gameplay focuses on real-time battles between ships, and mind you, it is three-dimensional. 

Captain Jack Sparrow will find the setting of this game his world! Set in the Golden Age of Piracy, French pirate captain Batilla finds himself in the middle of naval combat, crew management, and ship upgrades while exploring the Caribbean territories, just like Sparrow! Though it lacks a modern-day storyline, unlike other games in the series, players complete primary and secondary missions to garner resources, experiences, and upgrades. You can hire crew members, unlock perks, and obtain ships with gold. Defeating enemies raises your bounty and ranking, rewarding you with treasure maps and useful lost files throughout the game’s world. 

36.5 Hours

‘Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection’

Thirty-six and a half hours is more manageable, isn’t it? Well, “Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection” is also a group of games. There’s “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag” and “Assassin’s Creed: Rogue” for the Nintendo Switch. The collection has all single-player DLCs included, particularly the “Aveline” and “Freedom Cry” DLCs for the “Black Flag” game, as well as the “Rogue” DLC. 

Both games feature enhanced content for the Nintendo Switch, such as the capability to play games in TV, Handheld, and Tablettop modes, using high-definition Rumble and touchscreen controls, an optimized heads-up display, and motion control aiming powers.
