How long is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?
Here is our breakdown of how long the game will take to beat for different playstyles:
- Rushed playthrough – 20 hours
- Main story – 30 hours
- Completionist – 50-60 hours
Taking the main story at a steady pace and doing enough of the side content to reach the required level for each of the major boss fights, you can expect the game to last around 30 hours. However, in the late game, the world opens up significantly with an awful lot of side content to do with areas to explore, Pictos to unlock, and incredibly difficult secret bosses. If you’re looking to do all of this content to then your playtime could easily push upwards of 60 hours, and that’s without even mentioning Expedition 33’s New Game Plus mode, which makes the base game tougher and offers exclusive rewards.
