According to How Long to Beat, it takes around 21-23 hours to beat God of War Ragnarök’s main story although others have claimed that it could take between 25 to 30 hours for the main story alone.
Sony Santa Monica's God of War Ragnarok is claimed to be the conclusion to Kratos' epic narrative in Norse Mythology, and early reviews are quite positive from a variety of sites. With the game officially available, fans are understandably eager and tense, with more than a few startled by the latest installment in the God of War series.
It does have many wondering how long the game will take to complete, but with increased side missions and plenty of new combat possibilities, players should expect Ragnarok to take a touch longer than the last game.
What is God of War Ragnarök about?
After having defeated and slain Baldur at the end of God of War (2018), God of War Ragnarok follows up three years later. This is just as Fimbulwinter comes to an end which in Norse Mythology signals the beginning of Ragnarok. This forces Kratos and his teenage son Atreus to address and fight against the potential devastation and destruction that could come Midgard's way. However, the two will face not only the Norse version of the apocalypse but also opponents from God of War (2018).
This includes Baldur's mother Freya, his half-brother Thor, father Odin, and a few others yet to be named or shown in the trailer. At the same time, Kratos must contend with the news that his son Atreus is a half-god/half-giant named Loki, as well as a few new characters such as Angrboda (one of the last remaining giants, according to Sony Santa Monica) and Tyr (Thor and Baldur's half-brother and Odin's son).

How long will it take to complete 100% in God of War Ragnarök?
