Capcom shared how long it will take to beat Dragon's Dogma 2, comparing the game's main story length with the first Dragon's Dogma. The action RPG is set to release on March 22nd, so having insight into the time investment necessary to play Dragon's Dogma 2 proves crucial for those looking to organize their backlog.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is the sequel to its namesake predecessor, which became a cult hit a bit late but garnered enough attention for Capcom to order a new entry into this action RPG world with a whole new set of features. In the game, players take on the role of the Arisen in a parallel world that mirrors the firstDragon's Dogma. The Arisen is a hero whose destiny is altered when a dragon steals their heart, compelling them to embark on an adventure alongside their loyal Pawns to challenge the winged creature. Now, players no longer have to wonder how long this journey will be.

In an interview with Game Informer, director Hideaki Itsuno commented on how long it will take to beat Dragon's Dogma 2. Although he didn't provide a precise number, Itsuno tempered players' expectations by mentioning that Dragon's Dogma 2 will have a duration similar to the first Dragon's Dogma if adventurers focus solely on the game's campaign. A quick check on HowLongToBeat website shows that the main story of Dragon's Dogma takes about 37 hours to complete, suggesting it will take roughly the same time to beat the main story of Dragon's Dogma 2.

For those who want to experience all the content, explore every nook and cranny, and try out the new vocations added in Dragon's Dogma 2, Itsuno promises that the developers put a lot of effort into adding elements that extend the gameplay time for more dedicated players. If the completionist duration for this title is similar to that of the first Dragon's Dogma, we might see an investment that exceeds the 100-hour mark without including Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen DLC.
