If players can complain about something in recent years, it is an insistent shortening of the game time in new productions. The creators of God of War: Ragnarok make no compromises on this matter and prepare a game that can be extremely long.

One of the original creators God of War revealed that the next installment of the series, which many fans call unofficially God of War: Ragnarok, it can take up to 40 hours. This means that compared to the previous parts, it will be a much longer game. It is not known, however, whether the alleged length will be closely related to the main narrative, or whether it will be the time needed to complete each task in the continuation.

Information about the potential length of the game God of War: Ragnarok come from David Jaffe, who was the original director God of War and its next part. Even though Jaffe no longer works for PlayStation nor Santa Monica Studio, revealed that people with knowledge about the upcoming title on PS4 and PS5 told him that it can guarantee a much longer gameplay length compared to the 2018 edition.

“I hear from insiders that this game is 40 hours long. They’re targeting 40 hours of gameplay. Right now, I don’t know if it’s about 100% platinum trophy completion or if it’s average game time.”

Either way, if God of War: Ragnarok it will somehow close in the sphere of 40 hours, it will be a much longer time compared to the last installment of Santa Monica Studio. According to How Long to Beat – a website that tracks the length of games – completing the storyline in God of War from 2018 it took most players around 21 hours on average, and completing all the extra ones took that time to around 32 hours. So even if you finish God of War: Ragnarok would take a total of 40 hours, it would still be a much larger game compared to the previous title.
