How long does Avowed last?

Avowed is the upcoming role-playing game developed by Obsidian. The question that arises is whether it will provide a vast experience similar to Skyrim or if it will be more limited like The Outer Worlds. Below, the time required to complete Avowed is outlined.

Avowed, a new RPG from Obsidian, has drawn comparisons to Skyrim due to its features as a fantasy role-playing game that allows for first- or third-person gameplay and is set in an open world. However, the developer has clarified that Avowed will not be an open world in the traditional sense, but will feature a design more akin to The Outer Worlds, based on hubs. This has raised questions about the duration of the gameplay experience.

While Avowed will be available on Game Pass, knowing the game's length is crucial for players to decide when to start. Regarding its duration, although its world does not reach the scale of Skyrim, each area is packed with activities, side quests, and secrets. This means that the time a player spends will largely depend on the optional content they choose to explore.

According to tests conducted, a playthrough that includes most side quests could last approximately 35 hours. If players focus solely on the main story, it is estimated they could complete it in about 15 to 20 hours, depending on the difficulty level and the player's personal skills. This is comparable to what The Outer Worlds offers.

For those who wish to experience everything Avowed has to offer, the total duration is expected to reach around 40 hours, which would include searching for collectibles, completing additional quests, and reaching the maximum level. This breadth allows players to decide how much time they want to invest, although it is considered somewhat shorter compared to other RPGs.
