God of War Ragnarok has been hailed as its own epic befitting mythological source material and the original games of Kratos, as it wraps up the Norse Saga. Because of God of War Ragnarok's epic tale, many may be curious how long it'll take to beat as they dive into this game.

This God of War Ragnarok guide covers that, as well as provides players with a mission list should they be so curious.

God of War Ragnarok: How Long to Beat

God of War Ragnarok's main story will take players about 20 hours to complete. Several of the main missions are long quests in and of themselves, while players will often return to their home to plot their next move in between missions. The game also often encourages players to tackle various side quests as they arise, and so should players pursue any of this, their time will obviously be longer at the end. How long it takes to beat God of War Ragnarok depends entirely on how players engage with the realms around them and how quickly they proceed through the main story.

It should also be noted that God of War Ragnarok has plenty of side quests to complete, as well as a handful of endgame challenges, a few epilogues, and more to complete after the credits roll. For players looking to get God of War Ragnarok's platinum trophy, they can expect at least double its main content time, if not more. All in, God of War Ragnarok could easily eat up 50-60 hours of someone's life.

PLEASE NOTE: The main mission list doesn't contain explicit spoilers, but for fans who want to go in completely fresh, it may be best to avoid this list. However, this also makes a good source to track how far into the story someone may be.
