How long is Forspoken? Game length and more revealed

sportskeeda.com:

Forspoken is set to be released soon on consoles and PC. The brand new open-world adventure from Japanese publisher Square Eni has enamored fans since its debut as "Project Athia." Built on the latest iteration of the Luminous Engine, Forspoken aims to deliver a rich sandbox RPG experience with countless traversal and combat opportunities.

But how long exactly is the game? Here's how much time players can expect to spend in the vast expanse of Athia.

In an interview, project co-director Takeshi Terada confirmed a year ago that players should expect to complete most of the game in 30-40 hours. For those who choose to rush through the main plot, it will take around 20 hours. Optional objectives should keep players occupied once they are done saving the world of Athia from the dangers of the Tantas.

Terada has also suggested that a satisfying endgame will be included for fans who wish to stick around longer. This will undoubtedly be in the form of new quests, dungeons, and rewards.

That said, it would not be surprising to see players finally put the controller down after the 50-60 hour mark. The team's previous offering, Final Fantasy XV, was also about the same length concerning the main story and extras.

This latest Square Enix game sees players take control of Frey Holland, a woman from New York City who has been transported to a mysterious fantasy land of magic and evil. She discovers that a sentient bracelet has made her wrist a home and that the realm she finds herself in has been corrupted by four powerful rulers known as the Tantas.

With no way home, she must fight for the freedom of both the innocent denizens of Athias and her personal goal of returning to Earth.

The gameplay takes place in an open-world setting across
