Time to beat Space Marine 2

A safe estimation for how long Space Marine 2 is around 12 hours for the campaign. However, it does depend on your aims. 

If you’re a campaign player playing on a normal difficulty setting, you can expect the campaign to take around 12 hours. The time does depend on what you’re doing though. It can take less time on easy mode. It can also take longer to complete the harder difficulties. If you’re looking for Dataslates, the lore-themed collectables on each level, then it can add some time as you’re more careful checking the locations in each area of the map. If you end up missing the dataslates on a level, you need to replay the level. Adding another hour or so to complete the level again.

Now, there are another six missions relating to the campaign in the Operations mode. These take anywhere between 40-60 minutes, depending on the difficulty setting and the length of the mission. That’s another potential 3-6 hours depending on your actions and settings if you’re only interested in the story. 

However, Operations are meant to be played infinitely, as they level up your multiplayer guns and classes. So, these are technically infinitely replayable per the game’s reward structure for multiplayer.

Lastly, you have multiplayer PvP modes. This is your standard versus mode with a  few game modes. These will add as much play time as you want it to. Again, you’ll level up your class and weapons, alongside participating in the operations rewards structure too for skins, cosmetics and achievements/ trophies.

It’s very easy to foresee Space Marine 2 lasting the average player anywhere between 20-40 hours of playtime come launch.
