Want to know how long it takes to beat Space Marine 2? You can easily roll the credits on the campaign in just one day, but there’s a lot more to the game than just Titus’ story. The campaign sounds quite small with only seven missions including the tutorial, but each one is quite long, taking just under an hour to get through – the final mission in Space Marine 2 is closer to two hours long! Although, the difficulty level you choose, all the enemies you face, and your own playstyle will affect how long it takes to beat Space Marine 2.

The time it takes you to beat the Space Marine 2 campaign is going to vary based on your playstyle and your chosen difficulty. Here are some estimations for how long it takes to complete Space Marine 2 depending on how you play:

  • Quick: 6-8 hours
  • Standard: 8-10 hours
  • Thorough: 10-14 hours

If you’re just charging Titus along the critical path as fast as possible, the Space Marine 2 campaign will take you about 8 hours or under to complete, but upping the difficulty might slow you down a little more.

  • Avowed screenshot of companion Kai fighting a lizard-like creature with a sword How does Avowed take to complete?

Obviously, playing like this means you might miss special weapons, useful items, and dataslate audio logs that add some flavor, so exploring each area is advised, as in our Space Marine 2 tips. This’ll take you to a more standard playthrough time between 8 and 10 hours. I completed every mission on Veteran difficulty and found over half the available dataslates with a final time of 10 hours, for example. Although, if you’re even more thorough and replay missions to find all dataslates for a 100% completion, you’ll be looking at roughly 12 hours or more in the campaign.

Of course, this is just the time to beat Space Marine 2’s campaign and does not consider things like levelling up each of the Space Marine 2 classes in PVP or co-op missions. There’s no real “time to beat” for these activities given that they’re meant to be replayable and you can play as much as you want, so just know that if you complete all campaign missions, Space Marine 2 Operations, and a few Eternal War matches, you’ve got at least 15 hours of Adeptus Astartes goodness ahead of you.
