However, Ubisoft has suffered a number of high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations in the run-up to Assassin's Creed shadows' release.
According to the company, the majority of players can complete the main plot of Assassin’s Creed Shadows in about 30 to 40 hours, while the exact amount of time will rely on the side quests they select to finish.
The main quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows is just one of several activities players can follow with either Yasuke or Naoe at any time, and Shadows' variety of optional content is both worthwhile and impressive.
