For those looking for their next Souls-like fix, you might want to take a look at HexWorks’ upcoming Lords of the Fallen. If you’re wondering what the Lords of the Fallen game length is, we have the answer to that straight from the devs.

Speaking to MP1st during our hands-on session with the game, HexWorks’ studio boss Saul Gascon and Creative Director Cezar Virtosu answered how long it will take for players to complete Lords of the Fallen, and whether there’s a New Game+ mode.

MP1st: How long is the game’s single player, will there be incentives to replay the game? New Game plus modes?

Saul Gascon – The single player experience for us, like we know whatever enemy spawns, we know everything about it,  think around 25 hours. For a new player it’s gonna be somewhere around the 30 or more.

Cezar Virtosu –  Seeing that the tutorial area takes more than an hour and a half. For us, it takes like 25 minutes tops. So we are looking, I have some 30 hours or something. 

Saul Gascon –  30 plus more or less. Then you have different endings. Like you have three different endings depending on which factions you align with, so that’s one of the replay values. Plus the different classes, so you want to try different types of builds and etc. 

On top of this, is NG+. We have quite a few surprises waiting for players. Just as a brief one, you’ve seen (referring to our hands-on experience) that you have the Ancient Vestiges that are always there, they are present. You have the ones Vestige Seedlings that you can build yourself.

So in NG Plus, there is only one Ancient Vestige, all of the others are out and it’s in the hub and any vestige you want, you need to build it yourself. That means mastery of the environment itself. 

It’s funny because this is how we originally designed the game crafting Vestiges. The first iteration of the game only had one Vestige. But then through the play test, we saw that the dark souls ,or souls like veterans were super happy about it, “oh It’s amazing” right? But then anybody that you know was in the rest of the world “that’s too hard man, you went too far!”. Then we kept that original vision, but only for NG plus. Plus a couple of extra surprises that you will find NG+. 

For an action-RPG Soulslike, 30 hours isn’t too bad. There’s New Game+ as well, which should further add to the replayability.

Lords of the Fallen will be released this October 13 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
