As with other games, the exact time players will take to beat Rise of the Ronin's main campaign usually varies with their play style. That being said, players can expect that their playthrough will last around 20 hours if they choose not to engage in any other activities. If players are simply playing on the easiest difficulty, which is Dawn, then they should be able to cruise through the game without any side quests. However, for those who are looking to go for Dusk and Twilight difficulty levels, fans might need to grind a few secondary activities to level up fast, to match the increasing level of enemies.

An average playthrough would take much longer, as activities such as Bond Missions and hunting down Fugitives can be a bit tricky at times and can take some effort from the players to complete. Additionally, exploring to find equipment such as the Yasuke armor can be quite time-consuming as well. On average, if gamers aim for a mix of side quests and main missions, then they can expect to finish the game in around 30 hours.

How Long Does It Take To 100% Rise of the Ronin?

  • 60 to 70 hours (Estimated)

While Rise of the Ronin's main campaign might not be one of the longest for completionists, there is plenty to offer. There are a total of 51 trophies in the game to obtain, alongside 750 Collectibles and close to 100 Fugitives. As a result, it might take quite a bit of time for fans to complete 100% of the game. Thankfully, players can choose to take them on after completing the main story.

While this also heavily depends on the difficulty level gamers are playing on, they can expect around 60 to 70 hours to complete the game. That's quite a long playthrough time, but despite that, it should be noted that the Platinum trophy isn't that difficult to get. Most of the time will be occupied by getting all the collectibles and hunting down the Fugitives, but apart from that, it shouldn't be that difficult to get the much-coveted completionist trophy for the game.
