Crimson Desert: How long to beat

Updated · Patch history

Two published ranges do not match, and I am not averaging them into a fake mean. Game8's length page says the main story is 80 hours or more and a full clear is 300 or more. GameRant's length page says 55 to 60 hours for the story, 200 to 250 with side content, and 300 to 400 for a completionist run. The gap is mostly about whether farming, optional bosses, and side jobs sit inside the story clock.

Charting the Unknown does not have a published hour count on either page. I am leaving the DLC cell empty. Chapter-by-chapter times are also unpublished, so the chapter page stays a list of names.
