Elden Ring Has Gone Gold, Will Take Around 30 Hours To Beat

From Software has completed development on the long-awaited Elden Ring, with a “master” version being submitted for approval, the developer has confirmed. Work isn’t completely done, though, as the developers are now working on a day one patch that will include updates and optimizations.

Elden Ring “going gold” was confirmed during the Taipei Game Show, where From Software also discussed Elden Ring’s length. Producer Yasuhiro Kitao said play time will vary depending on a number of factors, but the main route should take players around 30 hours.

“This will differ significantly by player but in terms of targets set during development, the idea is that the main route should be able to be completed within around 30 hours,” Kitao said. “The game as a whole is quite massive, and contains many dozens more hours worth of gameplay but if we are talking about the main route only, it shouldn’t take much longer than that.”
