RELATED: The Longest First-Party Nintendo Switch Games
Given how time-consuming some of the series’ earlier installments can be though, some may want to find out how long Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is before they commit to playing it. The good news is that it’s nowhere near as long as some of its predecessors, but still has more than enough content to provide excellent value for money. The fact that there are three separate paths for players to choose from also provides a healthy dose of replayability and should be perfect for those looking to squeeze every last drop of value from their purchase.
How Long Does it Take to Beat Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes?
A complete playthrough of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will take most players somewhere between 20 and 25 hours, though there are a few variables that can drastically extend a run. For instance, those who spend time expanding facilities, buying gifts for support characters, and completing side quests and paralogues can expect to spend quite a bit longer, as too can anyone playing on harder difficulty settings. The decisions that players make can also have a noticeable impact on total playtime, with two secret chapters available to those who recruit a familiar face from Fire Emblem: Three Houses to their team.
