If you're about to get your hands on the Scarlet Nexus or just started playing it, you might be wondering how long it will take to defeat it.
The truth is that it depends on how you approach it. A role-playing game with an insane storyline, Scarlet Nexus can be completed in just 20 hours if you complete it right away without any side content. However, to get the full picture, you will have to play through the game with both available protagonists. And to get the most out of the game, you'll want to build connections with your party members to gain access to new skills.
While the side quests in Scarlet Nexus can be safely ignored, you'll most likely want to complete all of the Bond episodes that appear between the chapters of the game's main story. Most of them are nothing more than watching scenes, but some contain short gaming segments. If you complete as many Bond episodes as you can, there's a chance you'll beat the Scarlet Nexus in about 30 hours.
Those who enjoy playing Scarlet Nexus will likely spend 50 to 60 hours on it, playing it twice in order to explore all the facets of its plot and get as close to all the characters as possible. Those who want to get all the achievements and trophies of the game will have to complete it at least twice, as well as complete at least thirty boring side missions. Needless to say, Scarlet Nexus is not a short game.
