Black Ops 6 campaign length is roughly estimated to be between seven to nine hours. However, various factors can affect the completion time, and may even take longer for newcomers as they would need to adjust to the gameplay and get the settings right. Seasoned veterans are likely to find it easier to adapt and get through the missions and the different objectives.

The Black Ops 6 campaign length will also depend on the level of difficulty one chooses to play in - higher difficulty could increase the overall time. Moreover, the number of deaths per mission can also significantly increase the time it would take for an individual to complete the whole storyline. If you are trying to complete the game at every difficulty, it will take quite a long time to get through the entire campaign.

This article will highlight the Black Ops 6 campaign length and explore the possible reasons for this duration.

Why is the Black Ops 6 campaign length seven to nine hours?

Based on the information provided on r/blackops6 by u/Dull-Caterpillar3153 on Reddit, the Black Ops 6 campaign length of nine hours is inclusive of everything. This is what they had to say:

"This was a component that surprised me. It actually took me almost 9 hours to finish the Black Ops 6 campaign. Admittedly, I did engage with every POI on the open world mission, all the discussion in the safe house as well as doing all the upgrades and safehouse puzzles."

If you are looking for a holistic experiment while playing the Black Ops 6 campaign, nine hours is the most likely timeline to complete everything. But keep in mind as aforementioned, other factors should be taken into consideration as well. Depending on those, your timeline could extend to 10-plus hours as well.

Conclusion

The Black Ops 6 campaign seems to be designed in a way where players can replay some of the middle missions multiple times and make different choices. This is a great way to ensure that the single-player mode has a respectable amount of gameplay content and does not lose player retention. Unfortunately, Black Ops 6 follows a linear storyline and leads only to a single ending.

Previous Black Ops titles had a knack for creating multiple endings and were dependent on player choices. However, that can cause issues when developing sequels so the devs might have opted to keep it simple and create a linearly progressive campaign that has different pacing to keep players hooked.
