Resident Evil Requiem is one of the most anticipated titles this year to come from the beloved horror franchise. It will see the return of one of the most iconic characters in gaming’s history, Leon S. Kennedy, alongside the new face of the series, Grace Ashcroft. With the game coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Resident Evil, fans expect Requiem be loaded with content. But how long does it actually take to beat Resident Evil Requiem? Here we have answered it for you.
Resident Evil Requiem Gameplay Length and Total Hours
Resident Evil Requiem is expected to have around 12-16 hours of gameplay for its main content, and around 30-40 hours of content for completionists. The game is still a couple of days away from release, and this info mostly comes from rumors or statements made by the game’s producer and director. The game’s producer had initially suggested that Requiem would be nearly as long as Resident Evil 4, the second big adventure of Leon and one of the most favorite games in the franchise.
Recently, a trustworthy leaker named Dusk Golem revealed he had heard the game to be longer than Resident Evil Village but shorter than Resident Evil 4. With Village normally clocking at 10 hours for the main campaign and RE4 at 16-18 hours, we should expect Resident Evil 9 to be around 12-16 hours long. However, these are mostly based on rumors, so take the numbers with a grain of salt.
| Story Type | Time to Beat |
|---|---|
| Main Story | 12 Hours |
| Main Story + Mild Exploration | 16 Hours |
| Completionist | 30-40 Hours |
One thing that we can trust is that Requiem will be fairly meaty, like the recent Resident Evil titles. Although Resident Evil Requiem will have two protagonists, the game will swap between the two characters at different intervals of the story, rather than having fully separate campaigns. Both Leon and Grace could share equal playtime in the game. However, with Resident Evil 9 coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the franchise, we may get to see hidden endings or secret campaigns as well.
So, let’s have our fingers crossed and wait to see how long it takes to beat Resident Evil Requiem once the game releases. What’s your opinion on Resident Evil 9’s gameplay length? Let us know in the comments below.
Resident Evil Requiem is expected to be around 12-16 hours long for the main content, and 30-40 hours in length for completionists.
Resident Evil 6 is the longest game in the franchise, with four interwoven campaigns that often take around 20+ hours to beat.
