Black Myth: Wukong completion time

The Black Myth: Wukong completion time for general playstyles are as follows:

Main Story: Less than 30 hours, if you don’t spend any time doing additional or optional stuff.
Main Story + Side Missions: 40 to 50 hours, if you are completing the main mission along with some side stories and optional content. Our first playthrough lasted about 50 hours, and we unlocked 42 out of 81 Black Myth: Wukong achievements.
Completionist: More than 60 hours, if you are looking to 100% the game.

These numbers take into account different skill levels and playstyles, as well as the time required to defeat bosses or find secret areas in-game. There’s a significant amount of optional content that players may struggle to get to the first time around. A Black Myth: Wukong New Game plus playthrough will at least be easier in that regard, since unlocked skills, armor, and more carry over.
