watch dogs legion, how long to beat

Watch Dogs Legion is the third and latest entry in the Watch Dogs series, Ubisoft’s open world sci-fi franchise. The game marks a pretty radical departure from its predecessors in terms of gameplay mechanics, as you no longer have a single protagonist to follow, and can instead recruit NPCs in the open world and play as them instead. If you’re wondering how long Watch Dogs Legion takes to beat, here’s what you need to know.

How Long Watch Dogs Legion Takes to Beat

During our playthrough, we managed to clear the game on normal difficulty in around 20 hours. It’s worth noting, however, that we still had a lot of side quests and optional content left over even after beating the campaign. So if you’re looking to see everything that the game has to offer, your playtime can easily go up to 30 hours or so.

The campaign structure is divided into a few main story branches. Every branch explores a different kind of threat or story in Watch Dogs Legion, and they each contain several missions that you’ll need to clear. We’ve listed the story chapters down below:

  • DedSec
  • Albion
  • Clan Kelley
  • 404
  • SIRS

Each of these story chapters have their own quest lines and story branches you need to complete in order to get the full picture of what’s going on in near-future London, and are mandatory for beating the campaign.

Outside of these, there are side quests you can do for DedSec, along with recruitment quests for NPCs. You can also spend time liberating all of the boroughs in London, which is highly recommended as this will unlock a few rewards and benefits to make the game slightly easier.

That’s all you need to know about how long Watch Dogs takes to beat. Be sure to check our guide wiki for more tips and information on the game.
