Assassin’s Creed Odyssey seems to be the longest entry in the franchise so far and plays much more like a traditional action RPG than a standard narrative adventure game. Most players working through the game at a standard pace and sticking to main quests for the most part will take about 40 hours to beat the campaign.
That number can be extended quite a bit for any players who get distracted by side quests, optional naval battles, or by the game’s Mercenary hunting system. The core narrative provides a very entertaining story, which will likely keep players coming back to it, though the side quests are a great way to earn some extra money, XP, and gear.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a game all about careful decision making and exploration, so Ubisoft definitely intends for players to take their time as they work through the massive map and uncover the world’s secrets and treasures. Despite that, and the estimated finish time, there will surely be some speed runners who find a way to rush to the end credits in record time.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will release on October 5, 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with some pre-order versions available 3 days earlier. Game Rant was provided a PS4 code for this review.
