Echoes of the End is a single-player adventure set in a fantasy world inspired by Iceland. The story follows the mage Ryn, who, with the help of her companion Abram, uncovers a conspiracy and battles the powerful Empire. The narrative is divided into ten chapters – but how many hours of playtime does that really mean? Here’s our first estimate.
Echoes of the End Playtime: Here’s how many hours to expect
Since there are no official playtime details yet, the currently known estimates are based on projections for the 10 chapters.
- Main Story: If you focus on the ten chapters of the core storyline, you should expect around 12 to 15 hours of playtime. The actual duration depends heavily on how much time you spend on combat, exploration, and puzzles.
- Main Story + Side Content: Each chapter features smaller optional tasks, hidden paths, and puzzles. Including these activities can extend playtime to about 15 to 25 hours.
- 100% Completion: Those aiming to see absolutely everything will need considerably more time. The exact length for a full completion run is not yet known. We will update this once more information is available.
Important: The times listed here are based on early estimates. There are currently no final reviews or official statements from the developers regarding total playtime.
Echoes of the End: Linear, but with room to explore
Echoes of the End is not an open-world game, but instead follows a linear structure with clearly defined chapters. However, each chapter offers its own challenges, hidden areas, and side activities. The design is reminiscent of titles like Uncharted or Jedi: Fallen Order, where exploration and story progression go hand in hand.
Thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and advanced technology, you can expect detailed environments with lava fields, glaciers, and snowy mountain passes. The combat system blends magic and swordplay, while your companion Abram assists you in both battles and puzzles. Echoes of the End will be released on August 12, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
