Assassin's Creed: Mirage takes players back to Baghdad in the 9th century when the Creed called themselves the Hidden Ones. The game is set before the events of the game and serves as a prequel and companion piece to Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, with a younger Basim - Eivor's mentor - taking the central role.
Assassin's Creed: Mirage was intended to be a DLC expansion for Valhalla and is a tighter, more compact experience that harks back to the classic series before Assassin's Creed: Origins. As a result, fans may wonder how long the main quest of Assassin's Creed: Mirage is and if the side quests add any more longevity.

How Long Is Assassin's Creed: Mirage?
With the latest trilogy in Assassin's Creed series - Assassin's Creed: Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla - taking players on vast RPG adventures lasting at least 100 hours each without the DLC, many fans complained of unnecessary padding and bloat. Assassin's Creed: Mirage rectifies this with a shorter experience that doesn't overstay its welcome. Many players have reported that Assassin's Creed: Mirage's main quest should last most players between 12 and 15 hours. This ties in with the data comprised by How Long to Beat, which states the main story takes most players approximately 12 hours to finish.
How Long Are Assassin's Creed: Mirage's Side Quests?
It wouldn't be an Assassin's Creed game if Mirage didn't have side quests that encourage exploration of the historical setting of Baghdad. However, as it's a shorter game, fans should temper their expectations if they're hoping for as much to do as its predecessors. Many side quests are short missions that can be completed quickly. It is safe to say that the side content and the main story combined in Assassin's Creed: Mirage shouldn't take longer than 30 to 35 hours to do and find everything in the game.
This includes exploring and reading up on the lore and unlocking all the game's achievements/trophies. However, seasoned Assassin's Creed players can finish all Assassin's Creed: Mirage's content in around 19 hours.
In addition to the side quests, many completists lengthen their experience by ensuring they unlock all Assassin's Creed: Mirage's trophies or achievements. Some are gameplay-related in Assassin's Creed: Mirage and may require practice, like surviving 10 minutes in open conflict to unlock the Eagle's Will. However, the majority will be unlocked naturally by playing through the game.
Assassin's Creed: Mirage is available now for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
