Assassin's Creed Mirageis returning to its roots with a shorter story-driven stealth action-adventure game. The upcoming installment of the famed series will be shorter than most of its predecessors.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Lead Producer Fabian Salomon was recently interviewed by YouTuber Julien Chieze about the next entry in the best-selling franchise. According to Salomon, it will take players an average of 20-24 hours to finish Mirage. Completionists may spend up to 30 hours of playtime.

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," Salomon said. "That can go up to 25-30 hours for the completionists, and we'll say that those who will be rushing the game will be around 20 hours."

Ubisoft made it clear in its announcement that Assassin's Creed Miragewill be a shorter title than the previous trilogy. It is a throwback to the classic Assassin's Creed games which players could finish in about the same amount of time.
