As the massive launch of Capcom's highly anticipated survival horror title approaches, one of the most frequently asked questions is: "Resident Evil Requiem how long to beat?" Thanks to early Metacritic reviews and Reddit impressions, we now have a highly accurate breakdown of exactly how many hours you can expect to spend navigating the horrors of the Midwest hotel.
Playtime Breakdown
Main Story (Standard Run)
The average playtime for users primarily focusing on the main objectives, alternating between Grace and Leon's chapters.
Completionist (100%)
For players hunting down every file, uncovering all safe codes, and securing all hidden weapon attachments.
Is the Game Too Short?
A 10 to 12-hour main campaign places Resident Evil Requiem squarely in the perfect "sweet spot" identified by long-time fans. It is slightly shorter than the sprawling Resident Evil 4 Remake (which averaged 15+ hours), but notably longer than Resident Evil 3 Remake.
As noted broadly by the Reddit community: "It sounds like a perfect sweetspot to me. Doesn't overstay its welcome."
Remember, the franchise is built on heavy replayability. Achieving an "S-Rank" on Hardcore or Insanity difficulty encourages multiple playthroughs. Furthermore, the inclusion of The Mercenaries arcade mode adds endless hours of arcade-style combat after the credits roll.
