The main story runs a little over 26 hours, which is generous for a single-player game and reflects a paced campaign broken up by classes, side quests and exploration. Players who mix in the more interesting side content, Merlin Trials, beast-taming and a few collectibles land around 40 hours. A completionist run climbs to roughly 67-68 hours because 100% requires grinding out a huge number of collectibles: field guide pages, Merlin Trials, Demiguise statues, chests and the full Room of Requirement and gear-upgrade loops. Much of that end-game time is repetitive collectible-hunting rather than new story, so most players finish the narrative and stop well before the completionist mark.
