Time of day in AC Shadows

This is probably the most important question for gamers, and the answer is no, the time in the game cannot be changed manually. So get ready for the fact that in this game, dark nights will become almost as familiar a part of the gameplay as the day. Despite this, it will be quite interesting to understand how the time cycle works.

The time system in the game functions in its own way. Unlike Odyssey or Valhalla, where the change of day and night has a greater impact on the gameplay, here everything is much simpler and more harmoniously integrated. One full day and night cycle takes about 48 minutes of real time, which means that every two minutes in reality corresponds to one hour in the game world. This time continues to flow while you play, move around locations, make improvements in your shelter or complete various tasks.

What's interesting is that in AC Shadows, all time is like one big equinox cycle, where night and day take up the same amount of time:

• Night lasts 24 minutes of real time.
• Day also lasts 24 minutes of real time.

It's also worth noting that the speed of the sun and moon slows down if your character is not actively performing actions. If you, for example, decide to pause the game while waiting for day or night to change, you may have to wait much longer than you expected.

There is currently no exact information about whether Ubisoft will add the ability to change the time of day in the future. So for now, focus on the current system and take these features into account when planning your actions in the game. Of course, we continue to monitor the updates and will share information as soon as innovations appear.

In conclusion, it is worth adding that in addition to the standard day and night cycle, changes in time can also be caused by seasonal transitions and time travel, which adds even more interactivity to the perception of the surrounding world.
