How Long is Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is finally here, and after the recent success of Baldur's Gate 3, many players are yearning for another story-driven RPG experience. Even though Veilguard has become more of an action game compared to previous installments in the series, the charm of the world and the companions you take on your adventure remain as strong as ever. With how different the Dragon Age games are in terms of content, some players might be wondering how long it takes to beat Veilguard, and in this article, we are going to answer that question!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard - How Long to Beat

BioWare estimates that it’s going to take the average player between 30 and 40 hours to beat, depending on the amount of side content they choose to engage with. Depending on the difficulty setting you choose and the amount of companion side quests you decide to complete, you could see even more playtime in your first run of the game. Veilguard also has high replayability, with many available builds and companions to choose from, as well as the high number of choices you can make during dialogue.

This time could also be greatly reduced depending on how you decide to play the game, as some players are going to choose to skip many of the cutscenes in Veilguard, resulting in a much faster playthrough. Based on all of this information, here are our estimates for how much time you can expect to get out of Dragon Age: The Veilguard:

• Main Story & Minimal Side Content - 30 hours
• Main Story & Decent Side Content - 40 hours
• Full Completionist Run - 55 hours

You are also able to respec your character, as well as your companions, at any time during your playthrough, so there is no real reason to start over if you find yourself in an unenjoyable experience. Make sure to take your time and enjoy the game, as the last game in the series was 10 years ago, and who knows how long it will take before we get another one in the future.

That is everything you need to know about how much playtime you can expect from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. While all of these numbers can help you estimate whether or not the game is worth its price, it’s hard to give a clear answer due to how differently every player chooses to engage with the game.
