We already know that players will need to spend around 20 hours to complete the main story. But if you want to get the full experience, lead game designer Jean-Sebastien Decant estimates roughly 60 hours of extra content. That would bring the total playtime to 80 hours.

Decant told OPM:

“We have so much content it’s quite crazy to say it. The main story is at least 20 hours. In the open world you have stuff to do for at least 50 or 60 hours. You have super-ships at the corners of the map, which are ships you wouldn’t be able to destroy until you are maxed up, then you have to understand the Captains which are like in-game bosses. So 20 hours to finish the main story, 60 hours to kill the ships and we are really trying to sort of tie both in together. So for instance sometimes you need to upgrade your ship to survive in a mission, so then you’ll probably start to wonder outside the main game.”
