How Long is RE8?
The Main Story Will Take Around 8-9 Hours
At a leisurely pace on "Standard" difficulty while doing side activities such as destroying Goats of Warding or finding Treasures will have players spend around 8 to 10 hours of playtime.
Playing on "Casual" difficulty will also take less time, with more time spent for the harder difficulties.
For a guide on each section of the game, check out our Story walkthrough guides:
Completing the Game With Side Activities Can Add 1-2 Hours
There are several side activities for you to do in Resident Evil Village, these include destroying Goats of Warding, finding Treasures, solving Labyrinth Puzzles, and reading Files. These can add up to 2 hours to your first time playthrough, depending on how dedicated you are to finding each collectible.
For a guide on each side activity and more, you can check out our guides below:
Subsequent Playthroughs Can Take 3 Hours or Less
On subsequent playthroughs where you know where Key Items are and how to do certain puzzles, it can take 3 hours or less to beat the game. In fact, there is an Achievement for doing so: the Dashing Dad Trophy is unlocked once the story is completed within this short time frame, although it is quite difficult to do on a fresh game rather than on New Game+.
What Can You Do After Beating Resident Evil Village
The Extra Content Shop is Unlocked
Players who have completed the game will be pleased to know that there are several things that become available to them after finishing the main story. These include Figures and Concept Art they can view, Weapons they can use for a second or third playthrough of the game, and even the long awaited Mercenaries mode.

New Difficulty
Completing the game once also unlocks a new difficulty called Village of Shadows. This mode is touted as being the most difficult mode available to players when starting a New Game, but is required to achieve the Universe's Best Dad Trophy.
