Gamers that would like to knock out Marvel's Midnight Suns as quickly as possible aren't necessarily robbing themselves of the experience. There is a general story at play here and the plot will certainly be referenced in other forms of media, even shows and movies will potentially address the time period for the comic book heroes.
However, it is admittedly difficult to recommend this kind of play in Marvel's Midnight Suns because the deck-building is captivating and some of the major plot points require exploration. This guide will attempt to estimate the time it takes to beat the game for every style of play.

How Long To Beat Marvel's Midnight Suns
- Main Story: 43 Hours
- Main Story & Sides: 62 Hours
- Completionist: 80 Hours
Perhaps the largest challenge is measuring how long just the main story is. Players can save about 10-20 hours by skipping the cutscenes and ignoring conversation opportunities with everyone in the abbey. Setting the difficulty to story mode and trivializing the fights also speeds up this process for about 10 hours.
If players only play the main story on the easiest setting and do the minimum number of missions, the game is about 43 hours long. Speedrunners that skip cutscenes and know where to go at all times can probably cut this time down below 40 or even 30 hours.
Most players can expect at least 60 hours from the campaign. Even players not interested in the collectibles or uncovered The Hunter's backstory will find that they will want to build their decks up. This mandates playing through side missions with various teammates, usually about 5-10 missions in between each story mission.
For those looking to collect all of the pages, find the secrets, and get everyone's deck perfectly right, plan on 80 hours with help from guides and up to 100 hours going solo. Players that want to master using recipe books and understand the finer details will be under no pressure to end the game quickly.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
