Rise of the Tomb Raider’s story will take players around 15-20 hours to finish, Crystal Dynamics has revealed, and between 30-40 hours to complete the game 100%.
Discussing the game’s length with Pixelvulture.com, lead designer Mike Brinker told fans to “expect to spend around 30-40 hours getting everything done. This is gathering every weapon, ability and completing every side quest.
“It all comes down to how you want to play through the game. Running through the game will take you around 15 – 20 hours. So expect double the play time collecting everything and exploring every secret tomb.”
The playtime means that Rise of the Tomb Raider could be up to twice as big as 2013’s Tomb Raider, which, according to stat-tracking website HowLongToBeat, took players an average of 11.5 hours to finish. Completing the game 100%, meanwhile, took an average of 20 hours.
But besides including more tombs, there’ll also be plenty of side missions to complete in the upcoming sequel, too, Brinker says, with the game’s hub areas said to be three times larger than the previous game.
“In terms of scale, all our hub spaces, the areas that allow you to explore and choose your own way to play, have been increased by three time the size,” he continued. “So there will be lots more to see and do in each area of the game too. We have more challenge tombs, crypts, caves, and a bunch of extra things to do like the side missions for the Remnant people, and the tomb guardians.”
Rise of the Tomb Raider launches on Xbox One and Xbox 360 on November 13, with PS4 and PC versions due to follow in 2016.
