Officially revealed at E3 2019, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is set to release in just over one week's time, which means that players do not have to wait much longer before getting their hands on this new rendition of the classic DBZ story. Indeed, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will feature a brand new take on the Saiyan Saga, Frieza Saga, and beyond, and details on exactly how long it will take for players to make their way through the game are now available.
To note, information on how long it takes to beat Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is currently only available from a single source, the recently-published Famitsu review of the game. This means that is difficult to hone in on an extremely precise completion time for the title, as doing so requires final times from a great number of playthroughs. Even still, the information found here should be suitable for those that are simply curious about an approximate playtime for DBZ: Kakarot.
With that established, it is indicated that it takes around 35-40 hours to beat Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, which is likely to excite those players that are looking to spend considerable time with this new title. Additionally, it is said that this is simply the length of DBZ: Kakarot's main story, and players that pursue the additional content found in the game will be able to extend their time with the title even further.
This additional content will feature numerous side quests, including one that is exclusive to players that pre-order Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and is stated that it will take fans about 80-100 hours to see everything that the game has to offer. This should put the minds of anyone that was concerned that DBZ: Kakarot's length would be short at ease, and it seems that Bandai Namco really has put a great deal of content into this highly-anticipated title.
That said, the Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot gameplay footage that has been shared thus far suggests that the title features quite a vast world. As such, traversing the game's map will undoubtedly be a contributing factor to its overall length, and it remains to be seen if DBZ: Kakarot is able to populate its world in a way that makes it feel both alive and engaging over the course of many hours.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot releases January 17, 2020, on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
