Hogwarts Legacy's main campaign will take between 26 and 40 hours to complete.

Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG set in the 1800s and centered on Hogwarts. It is being developed by Avalanche Studios, the company behind Disney Infinity, and offers all that a Harry Potter fan could want, including the ability to fly on a broomstick, missions with options, and the chance to select your Hogwarts house.

Players can enroll in a number of programs, ride majestic animals, and even venture into Hogsmeade Town outside the boundaries of the school.

How many hours does it take to beat Hogwarts Legacy?

If you only focus on completing the story quests, Hogwarts Legacy's main campaign should take you no less than 25 hours to finish according to Howlongtobeat.com although some gamers have crossed the 30 hour mark. But there are several campaign tasks with level requirements that compel you to play through various game modes. It means that for players who enjoy completing side quests and global exploration, it could take up to 45 hours or more to complete the game.

Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Don't expect to see many well-known characters since this was more than a century before Grindelwald's reign of evil and nearly 200 years before Harry Potter was born. Players will assume the character of a Hogwarts student who has the ability to recognize and call upon ancient magic in Hogwarts Legacy.

The character was admitted to the elite wizarding school late, as a 5th year student in the year 1890, due to their exceptional qualities. After you arrive at Hogwarts Castle, you have access to a sizable portion of the wizarding world.

For those just looking to get through the story without completing any side-missions, Hogwarts Legacy’s entire campaign will require a minimum of 30 hours to complete if you stick to completing the story quests. However, some campaign quests have a level requirement, which forces you to play through several game modes.

This is due to the fact that the game's story is broken up into chapters which you must complete in order to move forward. The prologue is one of Hogwarts Legacy's twelve chapters. Yet, the game is still open-world after you finish it, allowing you to continue exploring Hogwarts, doing side quests, and engaging in all manner of mischief.

100% Completionist length

With the complexity and scope of the game, it's not improbable that it will take 70 hours or more to acquire every Hogwarts Legacy trophy or achievement, especially if you're aiming for the Platinum trophy or 100% completion.

This is due to the fact that Hogwarts Legacy consists of 1257 Collectible Locations out of which a gamer would need 603 collectibles to get the platinum trophy. It may, however, take more than 100 hours to complete everything in Hogwarts Legacy, according to lead designer Kelly Murphy.
