The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 50 hours
Again, there are a lot of factors that complicate these estimates and make it impossible to treat them as the definitive word on this matter, but if we treat all of those figures simply as estimates, then it’s easy to come to the conclusion that Elden Ring‘s main story won’t be quite as long as the campaigns in the largest open-world games but will be at least roughly as long as many of FromSoftware’s previous titles. In other words, it’s about as long as we previously suspected based on vague statements from FromSoftware in the past and data mining reports.
Having said that, between various hints regarding the true scope of Elden Ring‘s world, the fact that you can replay the game in many different ways, and Kitao’s confirmation that Elden Ring will feature some kind of New Game+ mode, I think that it’s safe to say that anyone who wants to spend the next few months (or longer) with Elden Ring will certainly have the chance to do so.
