How Long to Beat Elden Ring?

30 Hours for the Main Storyline

According to an interview with FromSoftware, the main story of Elden Ring will take around 30 hours to complete. However, it was noted during the interview that due to Elden Ring's open world layout, actual playthroughs of the game may vary by many hours depending on how much exploring each player does.

Dozens of Extra Hours for Side Quests and Dungeons

Despite the main game being around 30 hours, FromSoftware has ensured players that the open world of Elden Ring will offer much more content aside from the main questline. The map in Elden Ring will be the biggest area ever created in FromSoftware's history and will offer dozens of optional dungeons, bosses, NPCs, and side quests to do aside from the main story.

Main Things to Do

Elden Ring has been confirmed to have multiple endings and new game plus, giving the game a great sense of replayability.

DLC Expected

While not officially confirmed, if Elden Ring follows the pattern of its predecessors such as Dark Souls, we can expect DLC to be released some point after the game is out. Looking at the DLC releases for Dark Souls 3, each DLC pack was released around six months after the game came out. If Elden Ring also receives DLC, we can expect new areas, bosses, and weapons to be included.
