From palace intrigues to battles against terrifying creatures, you'll surely have your hands full while playing Dragon's Dogma 2. Still, you might be wondering how many hours need to be allotted for this particular game. Here's our guide on how long to beat Dragon's Dogma 2 and its campaign length.

How long to beat Dragon's Dogma 2 - Campaign length

As we've mentioned in our Dragon's Dogma 2 review, it took our reviewer around 40 hours to complete the campaign. Another one of our writers (yours truly) also rolled credits within the 40-hour mark. However, bear in mind that this also includes time spent tackling side quests.

Given the above, we can go by this summary:

  • You can beat Dragon's Dogma 2 in roughly 30 to 35 hours, and that's if you focus solely on the main story.
  • Those who plan on tackling a few side quests may take around 40 to 50 hours.
  • However, completionists may need 100 hours or more due to the following reasons:
    • One achievement requires you to discover at least 50 dungeons.
    • Another achievement requires you to collect at least 240 Seeker's Tokens (there are 240 in total).
    • While you're tackling certain objectives, bear in mind that fast travel methods are quite limited or expensive. As such, you'll often find yourself exploring while on foot.
    • You can do another run in New Game Plus mode in case you missed out on anything the first time around.
    • There's also a particular secret which we will not reveal in this article.
You'll spend a lot of time running (or walking) away from enemies.
