Assassin's Creed Valhalla takes about 30-40 hours to complete the main story if only story missions are played. If players engage in many side missions but do not aim for 100% completion, playtime is around 60-70 hours to experience most of the content. For those seeking to complete everything including all side quests, collectibles, and DLC content, completion times can extend to around 100-140 hours or more depending on the player's style and efficiency. Speedrunners can finish the story in around 44 hours, but average players spend closer to 60-80 hours for a normal playthrough with side content.
Detailed Time Estimates:
- Main story only: 30-40 hours or up to around 44 hours for speedrunners.
- Main story + side missions (average playthrough): 60-80 hours.
- Full completion including all missions, collectibles, and DLC: 100-140+ hours, with some estimates going to around 149 hours.
This reflects the large open-world RPG nature of the game where exploration and side quests significantly add to total playtime.
