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

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is undoubtedly one of Ubisoft’s biggest games of all time, both in length and scale. The game is brimming with content that is sure to keep fans busy for long amounts of time. The huge open world just contributes more to the massive scale of the game. 

The answer to the question “how long does it take to beat the game?” doesn’t have a definitive answer as at the end of the day, it’ll differ from player to player and how they decide to approach the game. But we’ll give you an estimate of how long it takes to beat the game so you can get a better idea of just how big the game is. 

If you want to complete just the main story of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla then it’ll take you 60 hours while completing side missions and the story will take you around 95 hours. For a completionist run of the game, it’ll take you more than 100 hours. 

Completing the game 100% definitely isn’t an easy task but the game has an immersive open world that is gorgeously crafted so don’t rush and just take your time to enjoy the game. There are some factors that can affect your playtime like difficulty but we’re gonna explain that in detail below: 

1. Difficulty 

There are 3 different difficulty settings in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, they are as follows: 

• Exploration Difficulty:
  • Adventurer 
  • Explorer (Difficult)  
  • Pathfinder 
• Combat Difficulty:
  • Skald 
  • Vikingr 
  • Berserkr 
  • Drengr 
• Stealth Difficulty:
  • Apprentice 
  • Assassin 
  • Master Assassin 

All of these difficulties range from easy to hard/very hard but with different names. If you choose to play the game at a harder difficulty, it’s gonna take you a very long time to complete the game so we suggest playing the game at a balanced difficulty, in that way you can focus on both the story and the action. You can always change the difficulty in the Options menu. 

2. Is Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla a hard game? 

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla can be hard for players who want the game to be hard. The game presents you with three difficulty settings before starting your journey so that you have full control over how you want to approach the game, and how difficult you want the game to be. 

That being said, it’s still going to take you some time to be fully used to the mechanics of the game so even if the game might feel hard at the beginning, it’ll eventually get easier as you progress. The game is a tad bit harder than difficult than Odyssey but if you’re familiar with the mechanics, you won’t have much problem getting used to the game. 

3. Is Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla the biggest game in the franchise? 

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is easily the biggest Assassin’s Creed game to date as its campaign clocks in over 60 hours and is 15 hours longer than the franchise’s previous entry Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, which is now the second biggest game in the franchise. 

Not only is it the biggest game in the franchise, but it’s also the highest-grossing Assassin’s Creed game to date as Ubisoft’s financial report revealed that Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla grossed over USD $1 billion in revenue. So it’s safe to say that Valhalla is one of Ubisoft’s most successful games to date. 

4. How many endings does Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla have? 

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has multiple endings and there are two main endings that affect the storyline and involve Eivor and Sigurd. The choices you make during your journey with Sigurd will directly affect the ending. If you want to know how you can get the best ending, we have you covered. 

There are also several other endings that tie to different story subplots and there is another secret Isu ending. Here’s a list of all the other endings you can get: 

• The Asgard Ending 
• The Secret Isu Ending 
• The Modern Day Ending 
• The Anglia Ending 
• The Order of the Ancients Ending 

5. How many DLCs does Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla have? 

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is a massive game on its own but it also has DLC expansions too of considerable length. There are four DLC packs for Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and they add a lot to an already huge base game. 

The four DLC expansions (in release order) are: 

• Wrath of the Druids 
• The Siege of Paris 
• Dawn of Ragnarok 
• The Last Chapter 

The Last Chapter is the final DLC for Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and it gives a long overdue closure to Eivor’s story. It was released on December 6 for free for all players who own the game. 

6. Is Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla repetitive? 

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla can sometimes feel like a chore and can feel repetitive at times. This is because of the fact that there are so many things to do in the huge open world that the game has, that after one point you might grind too much and get burnt out. 

Ubisoft has a specific formula for making their games so it’s natural that after playing Valhalla for many hours, it starts to get a bit repetitive. Some players think that the game is also overly long and bloated with useless side activities while other players seem to enjoy it. At the end of the day, it’s just a difference of opinions.  

7. What is the next Assassin’s Creed game after Valhalla?

The next Assassin’s Creed game after Valhalla is Assassin’s Creed: Mirage which is slated to release later this year. The game is said to bring the franchise back to its roots and features Basim Ibn Ishaq as the protagonist of the game. 

Baghdad will be your playground and parkour will play a much bigger role in the game. Fans might recognize Basim from Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla as he was the human reincarnation of Isu Loki in the game. There’s no release date for the game but rumors point to it being released in August this year.
