Forspoken isn’t a short game. If you really want to rush through the story, you can complete the game in about 22~ hours by our estimation with a pretty regular amount of exploration. Most players can spend twice that time reaching new areas, fighting powerful new enemies and experimenting with your powerful magic spells. There’s a lot to discover in the open-world of Forspoken, and if you’re wondering how many chapters are left before the end, we’ve got you covered.
The starting chapters of Forspoken are relatively short. It isn’t until Chapter 4 that you’re given a mission to hunt down one of the major world bosses and dig into one of the regions. After that, the chapters expand exponentially. You can spend multiple hours on a single chapter, depending on how much explorations you want to do. If you follow the story exactly, you’ll even miss large optional open-world areas off the beaten path.
If you’re curious how many chapters there are, how long the game actually is, and if there’s a post-game to explore, we’ll answer all your questions below.

You can find more play time reports on HowLongToBeat.com. Due to the game’s early release, these times are changing rapidly — and aren’t very accurate for normal players. At the time of this writing, players have shared an aggregate time of 20 hours for Main Story and 25 hours for Main Story + Side Content, which may come down to recency bias from players blazing through the game — and incorrectly reporting, as completing Side Content easily doubles the length of the game.
There is no score for completionists yet, but 100% Completion should be fairly easy for Platinum hunters. By exploring each region and finding lookout towers, you can mark most of the important locations on the map. Your job is mostly to clean-up — and trophies for challenges are all fairly simple as long as you’ve unlocked the right spells.
