It may have taken eight years to make, but how long does Hollow Knight: Silksong take to beat?
Developer Team Cherry has admitted that the game's long development time is in part due to how much fun the team was having adding in new content, so has that been reflected in its playtime?
With players now having already finished the game, how long is Silksong and how many total areas are there to complete?
How long is Hollow Knight: Silksong? Length and time to beat
An average playthrough of Hollow Knight: Silksong will take roughly 20-25 hours to beat.
Naturally, if you're particularly speedy, you can probably trim a couple of hours off and finish it in less than 20 hours – the opposite is true if you play at a more leisurely pace.

Interestingly, this is a few hours less than the first Hollow Knight game, and it's even shorter once you consider 100 per cent completion.
A completionist run of Silksong will probably take you 30 or so hours, or up to 40 if you're taking your time. This is in comparison to the potentially 60+ hours it takes to complete Hollow Knight.
