Avowed: What’s the Game’s Length?

Select Language:

The time it takes to finish Avowed can vary widely depending on your playstyle. If you focus on the main storyline, you can complete it fairly quickly, but if you prefer to explore every nook and cranny, it’ll take longer. Since Avowed has a smaller world compared to some other RPGs, it’s possible to finish it in a reasonable amount of time if you’re after a shorter experience. However, there are numerous side quests and activities that can extend your adventure. Below, we break down our estimates on how long it may take to complete Avowed.

As an action RPG filled with side quests and various distractions, the total playtime for Avowed largely hinges on your commitment to the main story and the additional activities. Here’s our rough breakdown of completion times based on your approach:

Main quest only: 20-25 hours
Main quest + some side activities: 25-35 hours
100% completionist: 40+ hours

It’s worth noting that upgrading your gear in Avowed makes completing side quests quite essential, so focusing solely on the main quest may not be the best strategy. If you play on an easier difficulty setting, you could potentially wrap up everything in under 25 hours, or even less than 20 hours if you’re particularly efficient.

However, a typical playthrough where you engage in side quests and loot hunting will likely take around 30 hours. If you aim for full completion, expect to invest over 40 hours in the game. The writer of our Avowed review spent about 70 hours clearing everything in The Living Lands, though you might complete it faster, especially if you check out our tips and tricks for Avowed!
