radiotimes.com:

If you hadn't heard of Black Myth Wukong before this week, odd are you have now. After releasing on Tuesday, it's quickly broken records to become the most played game on Steam at one time.

It's probably made you curious, and perhaps you're tempted to grab a copy.

But if you're like us, you have a busy life and might not have time to embark on a sprawling game at the moment.

To help you with this decision, let's take a look at the game size. So how long is Black Myth Wukong?

If you were hoping to blast through Black Myth Wukong in just a weekend, then we have bad news for you. Well, unless you're made of harder stuff than us...

The story will take 30-40 hours to complete, and add a few to that if you want to 100% it.

This isn't much of a surprise, considering the vast lands that come with every chapter. Speaking of which, let's take a look at the size of its world.

As Black Myth Wukong isn't exactly an open world game, it's difficult to talk about the size.

Because we don't have complete a map to share, we can only compare it to other linear games with interconnected areas.

Looking at previous Souls-likes, it's a lot more like Bloodborne and Sekiro than Elden Ring.

There's nothing wrong with a linear map, though. If anything, there's less chance to get lost and you're more likely to power through it in a weekend!
