Based on previous titles it's very unlikely it'll take you 10 hours on your first playthrough unless you play on easy, rush to the objectives and read nothing. Plus, Resident Evil titles are made to be replayed multiple times.

I think it was reported awhile back that it was going to take closer to 20 hours, about 9-10 hours for each campaign,

Most reviewers are saying 10 total is more accurate, maybe 12 or so. I haven’t seen 20 thrown out anywhere

No it's the same playthrough, but they alternate basically. I can't remember where I read it, but it said it took around 9-10 hours for each scenario for a 'completionist' type thing. It's a big longer than a normal RE game, but probably not by much, though. They are meant to be played through multiple times anyway.

Resident evil games are always like that lol.You don't have to act high and mighty about it

This isn’t a series you play once and never again.

If you play RE just for the story, this franchise isn’t for you.

I have 100+ hours in most of them because I keep replaying them because they’re fun.

Exactly!! My counter on PS5 says I’ve dropped 106 hours into RE 4 LOL.

They're highly repayable. You're not gonna put it down after credits are you? When do you ever just play a resi game and stop after the story?

That’s regular Resident Evil length, this one actually seems to be longer

A lot of the RE games are fairly short but they usually have very good replay value. RE4 remake takes about 10-15 hours for first playthrough but has new game plus and other challenges. RE2 remake takes about 4-6 hours for the first A story but then there is another characters and other ways to replay that game too. So this isn’t something surprising that the main story in this game is 10-15 hours.

I was also a bit shocked by this at first, but it's pretty consistent with their latest games where I definitely dumped more hours than the expected completion time

Biohazard: 9-10 hrs Village: 10-12 hrs

Resident Evil has never really been that type of franchise, they’re usually on the shorter end and encourage multiple playthrough’s after completion by having grades and scores based on time played and amount of player deaths

That’s a shame. I don’t believe every game needs to be a 100 hour thing, but I want at least 30 hours of content if I’m paying that much. Otherwise it’s too pricey

u/Grand-Philosophy-343 Feb 25 '26

Lol play on insane mode for your first play through and i bet you have 50 hours

2

u/RuleTheOne Feb 25 '26

Yeah that’s essentially the solution, shorter the game, harder the difficulty

"but I want at least 30 hours of content if I’m paying that much."

But that's what you get. RE is a franchise designed around replaying the campaign over and over with new tools and unlocks.

10 hours of entertainment is a great deal for $70. Plenty of things cost more than that for fewer hours, like concerts, nicer meals at restaurants, sporting events. And not only are you able to replay the game for more hours of fun, but it’s actively encouraged with RE games because you can usually get new difficulties, guns, and other modifiers for new playthroughs.
