Monster Hunter: World Story Campaign Length Is 40-50 Hours

Galactic

The developers behind Monster Hunter: World estimates that the game’s story campaign takes around 40-50 hours to complete.

Speaking to German online magazine Mein-MMO, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said the average player will likely take around 40 to 50 hours to neat the game’s story, and they will spend more playtime crafting and upgrading their gear afterwards. Director Yuya Tokuda adds that players can enjoy more activities post-launch through free updates and weekly event quests.

The team’s estimate for Monster Hunter: World’s length aligns with the average completion time of previous games in the series. To illustrate, here’s the completion time of a few other Monster Hunter games based on How Long to Beat‘s stats:

Monster Hunter Generations- Main Story: 59 hours ; Main Story + Extra: 96 1/2 hours
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – Main Story: 87 1/2 hours ; Main Story + Extra: 158 hours
Monster Hunter Tri – Main Story: 58 Hours; Main Story + Extra: 152 hours
Monster Hunter Freedom 2 – Main Story: 49 hours; Main Story + Extra: 69 1/2 hours

Unlike past games in the series, Capcom aims to provide a compelling narrative to Monster Hunter: World. Quests are also streamlined this time around, allowing everyone to play however they want.

Monster Hunter: World launches on PS4 and Xbox One on Jan. 26, 2018 with the PC version launching sometime after.

I love it when games have long campaigns, but they have to manage to stay interesting. So, I'm looking forward to seeing if they'll hit the mark.

I was going to say something about not remembering there being any kind of story, but it says they're adding one this time. I mean, I know I sucked at Monster Hunter Tri, but surely I wouldn't have missed that?

60-70 hrs campaign is ok , then it gets boring for me in most games.

The long storyline is good because you are imbued with the atmosphere of the game. Particular interest appears when you are already starting to navigate without a map. I hope most of it will not be occupied by an empty run from one point to another.
