Scarlet Nexus Length

This brings us to how long Scarlet Nexus will take you to beat. Generally, a playthrough of the game should take you around 20 hours doing a moderate amount of grinding and side content, this could go up to the 30-hour mark for a completionist.

This being said, you will want to play through this game twice with each main character if you want to see everything the game has to offer.
