Resident Evil: Requiem marks the ninth main installment in the legendary horror series. But just how many hours of gameplay does the new adventure offer?
Resident Evil Requiem launched on February 27, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Since release, fans have been wondering how long Capcom’s latest horror outing actually lasts. We’ve already rolled credits and can now give you a clear breakdown of the game’s playtime.
Resident Evil: Requiem Playtime – How Many Hours to Expect
In terms of length, Resident Evil Requiem lands somewhere between Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4:
- Main Story: Expect around 12 to 16 hours for a standard campaign run. Our first playthrough clocked in at 15 hours. We took our time exploring and experimented extensively during the stealth-heavy segments. That makes Requiem a bit longer than Resident Evil Village (about 10 hours on a first run), but slightly shorter than Resident Evil 4, which took us roughly 18 hours back in the day.
- 100% Completion: If you’re aiming to uncover every secret, complete all optional content, and thoroughly explore every corner, you’re likely looking at 30 to 40 hours. Multiple playthroughs and a variety of additional challenges are required for full completion.
How It Compares Within the Series
Looking at the playtimes of recent mainline entries gives you a better sense of where Resident Evil Requiem fits in. Resident Evil 2 averaged around nine hours, while Resident Evil 3 was significantly shorter at roughly six. Resident Evil 7 typically ran between nine and ten hours, and Resident Evil Village came in at about ten. By comparison, Resident Evil 4 offered a much more expansive experience at around 16 hours.
