Assuming you simply play through the campaign of Rise of the Ronin while ignoring almost all of the side quests, you should be able to complete the game in under 20 hours.

Readers looking for a mixed playthrough with an occasional dabbling of side quests can expect around 30 hours of gameplay.

A completionist would take approximately 50 hours to find (and complete) every secret, mission, and open-world quest in the game.

This does not take into account the multiple playthroughs and choices you can revisit via the Testament of the Soul, which will most certainly affect your Rise of the Ronin completion time.
