A challenge to achieve 100%!
Taking advantage of this new light on Elden RingYasuhiro Kitao was asked about the lifespan of their next game. According to him, it is difficult to give a real range because the lifespan is inseparable from the experience of each player: some will take the time to explore everything what lies around them as others rush headlong to unfold the game’s narrative. However, a certain number of objectives were set during the development of the game in order to delimit an interval of hours of play allowing to conclude the main plot and it should take you, according to Yasuhiro Kitao, about 30 hours!
The game, as a whole, is quite massive and contains several dozen hours of additional gameplay, but if we’re just talking about the main route, it shouldn’t take much longer than that. — Yasuhiro Kitao, producer on the game Elden Ring.
However, this does not mean that the game will have nothing to offer beyond the thirty hours necessary to overcome the main plot. Yasuhiro Kitao likes to remind you that the world of Elden Ring is very vast and that it is designed in a ” so that it can be explored/completed without necessarily experiencing everything “.
Indeed, according to him, it will take much more than a single pass on the game to live the full experience.

Notice to completion enthusiasts: it will take time to completely fold Elden Ring, the adventure promises to be epic!
