The story of Assassin's Creed Mirage took us around 15 hours to finish on our first playthrough. That includes a few side quests thrown in there, but for the most part we stuck to the main story.

That's a little quicker than other recent AC titles, notably Valhalla which was the previous game and one of the longest in the franchise by far.

It could take you less than 15 hours if you focus solely on the main story, or if you're a particularly good assassin.

This isn't too dissimilar to the older games in the series. Assassin's Creed 2 was roughly 20 hours in length for those following the main story, with the follow-up, Brotherhood, coming a little under at 15 hours. For both games, the length could go up to 30–35 hours if you took part in lots of the side content.
