Team Ninja’s highly-anticipated action RPGNioh 2has just released, and players are now busy perfecting theirKi Pulses, learning how best to use a variety of weapons, and taking on a slew of maddeningly difficult bosses. As fans begin to make their way through this new title, some may wonder approximately how long it will take to beatNioh 2, and details on this matter are indeed now available.
Specifically, there is indication that it takes around 50 hours to beatNioh 2’s main story and a smattering of optional missions, which means that players will have plenty of time to master the game’s elaborate combat system. That said, fans can certainly extend their time withNioh 2dramatically, as its many optional missions, New Game plus modes, and elaborate gear system can provide hundreds of hours of content to those that simply cannot get enough of this brand new title.

Furthermore,Nioh 2’s co-opcan extend the game’s lifespan even further, allowing players to team up to take on any of the title’s missions. This three-player co-op mode builds upon what was present in the originalNioh, and some fans may find that they are content to endlessly complete missions alongside their friends.
For players that are curious, the average main story completion time for theoriginalNiohis approximately 35 hours according to data collecting website How Long to Beat. This figure increases to 62 hours when players begin taking on the game’s optional content, and it is bumped up even further to 91 hours for completionist runs. Additionally, players can get even more time out of the originalNiohby doing things like farming for the perfect gear pieces, and indeed many fans have done exactly that.
With all of this said, it seems thatNioh 2presents an experience that is similar to, or perhaps slightly longer than, the originalNioh. This is something that Team Ninja indicated would be the case earlier this year when commenting onNioh 2’s length, and these approximate completion times are thus not extremely surprising. However, as previously stated, players that are not sated after 50 hours will find that there are plenty of ways to get more time out ofNioh 2.
Nioh 2is out now for PC and PlayStation 4.
