Many fans are wondering “How long is Armored Core 6?” for good reason, since FromSoftware games tend to be quite long to beat. The answer depends on whether you plan on beating the main story once and if you’re going for a complete 100% walkthrough. Past games in the series typically lasted around 10 hours, but it’s been more than a decade since AC5 was released so you wouldn’t be wrong to think that AC6 is longer than that. Here’s how long it takes to beat Armored Core 6 on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
How long is Armored Core 6 main campaign?
The main campaign for Armored Core 6 takes about 20 to 25 hours to beat, according to our playthrough of the game.
This estimate is only for the first runthrough of the story and doesn’t include any multiplayer content. As AC6 is rather linear in nature, there are no side missions apart from the Arena and training missions. That said, completing the story once will unlock new game plus, which comes with new content and the ability to look at the story from different perspectives. There are two additional endings that you can receive by completing the game two more times.
Since you get to keep pretty much everything from your initial playthrough, including parts, OS upgrades, money, and more, it will likely only take 10 to 15 hours to complete the game again on the second playthrough. This will be more or less the same for the third playthrough too.
So in total, it will likely take you about 40 to 60 hours to get all three endings and truly beat Armored Core 6. However, players looking for 100% completion by getting all of the collectibles and achieving an S rank on every missions will need to invest about 75 to 80 hours depending on their skill level.
