How long is Monster Hunter Wilds to beat?

How long is Monster Hunter Wilds? How long will it take to beat it, and what's the amount of time before you reach the fabled endgame state that most players aspire to in? The Monster Hunter Wilds campaign length means that it should take most players about two days or so of real time to crack to the end of the story, but obviously that's a number that can really vary depending on skill level, playstyle, and how interested you are in optional content.

How long is Monster Hunter Wilds?

MH Wilds will take the following amount of time to beat, depending on your playstyle and skill level.

Main Campaign: 20-30 hours
Endgame: 30-40 hours
Post-Game: 40+ hours

To explain, Monster Hunter Wilds has a campaign in two parts, spread across six chapters. You'll complete the campaign and get the end credits in roughly twenty to thirty hours of time, depending on how you play the game, but that only gets you to the end of chapter 3, despite the credits rolling.

After doing that, you'll hit the endgame state, which is where you experience chapters 4-6, a secondary part to the campaign that's largely about cleaning up the consequences of what occurred during the story, and unlocking the last of the game's many monsters and mechanics, including tutorials on systems like how to capture Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds and unlocking layered armor to alter your Monster Hunter Wilds armor appearance. Complete all the missions associated with that and you'll reach the post-game, where everything is unlocked and you're free to hunt, experiment with builds, and more besides. How long you spend here is entirely up to you!

You should also remember that side quests and optional hunts will massively vary your playtime, but that goes without saying. Ultimately MH is a game as long as you want it to be, especially with awareness that new content will be coming post-launch as outlined in the Monster Hunter Wilds roadmap.
