Here's exactly how long it takes to beat A Plague Tale: Requiem

Picking up six months after the end of the previous game, A Plague Tale: Requiem continues the story of siblings Amicia and Hugo, and the Macula curse that runs in their blood. Requiem brings some massive improvements to both gameplay and presentation, and with that comes a longer runtime than A Plague Tale: Innocence. You'll need to set aside a decent amount of time for Amicia and Hugo’s new adventure, but it’s still a more compact experience than some of the year’s other big games, like Elden Ring. Here’s what you need to know.

How long is A Plague Tale: Requiem?

An average playthrough of A Plague Tale: Requiem is going to take roughly 15-20 hours. Your time can vary quite a bit depending on which difficulty you play through, as well as how much you explore the environment. There are 21 souvenirs to collect in Requiem, on top of 12 items for Hugo’s Herbarium. All of these collectibles are found through exploration, so if you’re looking for everything you’ll likely end up near the 20-hour mark.
