Assassin’s Creed IV contains 5 hours of modern day content, only has to be played for 30 minutes
Assassin’s Creed IV will offer an extensive amount of content in its modern day setting, but gamers won’t be forced to play through it all.
In a new blog post, Ubisoft estimated a five hour playtime to experience every bit of the modern day elements. But just 30 minutes is needed to progress through the main story.
Ubisoft says players will depart from the Animus a total of five times. What’s accomplished in each session only takes three to four minutes, the publisher said.
“It’s there to progress the story because there’s this meta story that we’re telling. Why are you researching Edward? Why him specifically? What did he do that’s interesting? There is a story that connects everything together. We pretty much tried to boil it down to its most core essence because we know there are people out there who really don’t like the present day, and that’s okay. You don’t have to like it, but it’s part of the brand. For the people who like the present day and are big fans, we put in a lot of fan service and a lot of fun optional content. You get to choose if you want it or not.”
