How long does it take to beat AC: Rogue? Main Story & 100% Completion Time

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue is a reasonably shorter title than the other games in the franchise. The game is basically a Black Flag II as the game’s mechanics build on mechanics that were previously present in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag like the combat system and the naval elements.  

The game follows the journey of an Assassin turned-Templar called Shay Cormac. It takes place during the Seven Years’ War and is also the final chapter in the Kenway family’s saga. The game also ties into Assassin’s Creed: Unity but how it ties into Unity will be explained in the article. 

If you’re aiming to finish just the main story for Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, it’ll take you around 10 hours. Completing both the main story and the side missions will take you 22 hours and a completionist run of the game will take you around 39 hours. 

Difficulty will not affect your playtime as the game does not have any difficulty settings so while you can still approach the game in your own way, you can’t really select a difficulty you’d like to play on. 

1. Does Assassin’s Creed: Rogue have any DLCs? 

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue not only has cosmetic DLCs, it also has two playable DLC missions which are: 

• The Armor of Sir Gunn Quest 
• The Siege of Fort de Sable 

I. Official Synopsis – The Armor of Sir Gunn Quest 

Explore North America to find the remains of Scottish explorer and Templar Sir James Gunn and solve the mystery of the man who may have been the first discoverer of the New World. 

II. Official Synopsis – The Siege of Fort de Sable 

Continue the battle at sea with this bonus fort raiding mission set in the unexplored northern territory of the New World. 

2. How many endings does Assassin’s Creed: Rogue have? 

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue has only one definitive ending and this is where the Assassin’s Creed: Unity connection comes in. Assassin’s Creed: Rogue isn’t really a prequel to Unity as it’s concurrent with the events of Unity.  

At the beginning of Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Arno’s journey starts after his father is murdered. In Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, we find out that it was actually Shay who murdered Arno’s father and hence creating a connection between both the games. 

3. Is Assassin’s Creed: Rogue a short game? 

Clocking in at an average length of around 10 hours, Assassin’s Creed: Rogue is the second-shortest game in Assassin’s Creed main line history. It was released around the same time as Assassin’s Creed: Unity.  

The game might not be as critically acclaimed as the series’ other titles but it’s still a fun game to play through considering it includes various elements from Assassin’s Creed: III and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. A remastered version of the game was also released on consoles in 2018.
