The main story runs a little under 23 hours, longer than the 2018 God of War and padded with plenty of cinematic story beats. Folding in the strongest side content, favors, and the optional realm exploration pushes a typical run to around 30-35 hours. A completionist playthrough is roughly 46 hours, since 100% requires clearing every favor, Berserker boss, Nornir chest, collectible and upgrade in all Nine Realms. Note the times above are for the base game only. The free post-launch Valhalla DLC is a separate roguelite mode: it takes about 6 hours to see its story and around 10 hours to complete, though its run-based structure means actual playtime varies widely.
