Gotham Knights is a noticeably different experience than the previous Batman Arkham games, focusing on gear and RPG mechanics, rather than straightforward progression. Despite being an RPG, Gotham Knights is still on par with other recent Batman games in terms of average playtime, offering plenty of side content and main story missions to complete. But just how long will this game take to finish?

How long is Gotham Knights?

On average, it’ll take around 12 to 15 hours to complete the main story, with plenty more to do in terms of side quests and optional missions. Your playtime will vary depending on the difficulty setting, how much you prioritize the main quests, and whether you focus on utilizing the best gear.

Completing everything the game has to offer will likely take you around 25 to 30 hours, but even after you’ve earned 100 percent, you can still partake in cooperative multiplayer missions online.
