The person or people running the DOOM Twitter page made this claim a couple days ago. Difficulty dependent, of course, and I also wouldn't be surprised if this is how long it will take to 100% the SP portion.

The difficulty level plays a factor, but folks playing at the office average 13+ hours in the campaign

Send me to hell with a piss filter if old.

 

[malfcn]

So 6.66 hours?

 

[antitrop]

Similar to Wolfenstein: The New Order, then. Fine with me.

 

[brandonh83]

So it's that average length with a wide variety of factors. This gives me an idea of how long it is.

 

[Mr Swine]

So 5 hours?

If you ignore killing the demons perhaps

10+ hours is really great for a FPS

 

[Hoje0308]

So 5 hours?

Hoping for eight to ten on highest difficulty.

 

[Levyne]

Probably a bit inflated but still points to a relatively meaty campaign, even if its 8-10 hours.

 

[Warxard]

How much of that campaign is in the space station

 

[SeanTSC]

Similar to Wolfenstein: The New Order, then. Fine with me.

Yep: http://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=16886

If it's similar to TNO then that's great.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Doom 3 was actually very long, but its hard to tell if this wont be a COD length cash-in. Id doubt it since Bethesda and ID typically dont do that.

 

[Welfare]

Wolfenstein TNO length would be perfect.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Wolfenstein TNO length would be perfect.

This

 

[DeepEnigma]

Nice. Still need to pick up Wolfenstein.

 

[The Flash]

Hopefully. I don't want another Halo 5.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

So 8-10 then?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Wolf:TNO took me like 15 first time around, so it would be great if DOOM was similarly fleshed out

[Mushroomer25]

Good enough length. I didn't love the multiplayer when I played the beta, so I imagine that SP will be the whole of my time with Doom.

 

[Ohrenberger]

Wolfenstein was about that length so I believe them.

 

[Ein Bear]

Good to hear. I have high hopes for this game, Wolfenstein was awesome and I'm getting similar vibes.

[deriks]

Wolfy works fine, so I believe that we gonna have some fun

 

[Turin Turambar]

That's a pretty good length for a high-pace FPS, but it's what I expected. I mean, they had so many years to build content for the game...

 

[abracadaver]

I will probably play this for hundreds of hours. Once I finish the campaign I will just start over

 

[shinobi602]

I usually take longer to complete games than what developers or others estimate so I'm guessing 15+ hours for me. Sounds good.

 

[Truant]

The developers of the game that have played it every day for the last three years spend 13 hours on the campaign?

Sounds good to me. The gameplay looks crazy fun.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's very good news. It'll probably take 20 hours on the highest setting and including stuff like finding secrets.

 

[Sub_Level]

Even if its 8, thats fine with me.

Replaying Doom 1 and 2 have me excited for this. Hopefully the scripted kill animations don't break up the action too much.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Length is fine, more concerned about whether it will retain the labyrinthian design of the original.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

This is Dev time, so probably 6-8 hours at most.

 

[AstroNut325]

8-10 hour campaigns would be perfect in my opinion.

 

[lcap]

Same here. And it's not that I take my time with the game. Just so easily distracted most of the time.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I'm just hoping we don't get a DOOM joke that references any past games. DOOM needs to stay on its own level. I hope it takes itself seriously. It has so far.

Their community team played through the entire game already? Cool, so its been done for a while.

 

[Diablohead]

if playing on some sort of hard mode means i'll be spending 10+ hours on my first play then that's good to me, I honestly expect some sort of casual run and gun time to be 4+ unless there's classic doom style level layouts with GASP... puzzles.

 

[Stevey]

Sounds good to me.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Wolfenstein was about that length so I believe them

 

[DeepEnigma]

Same, I explore and stare at all the little things they have done with the design and levels, lol.

 

[inm8num2]

What % of those hours is spent watching the execution animations?

Just kidding. Anywhere from 10-12 hours is a sweet spot for most modern shooters, so 13+ sounds nice.

Er hang on we are talking about a game that has had the disembodied head of its dev as a final boss, as well as a party hat on a chainsaw zombie.

 

[JoseLopez]

Blops 3 was 12 hours long

 

[killroy87]

Sounds good. Any longer for a game like that and fatigue would set in

 

[GeoramA]

That's pretty lengthy, cool.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Heck Wolfenstein The Old Blood was longer than many single player campaigns! Best $20 I've spent!

 

[Lanrutcon]

That's more than enough.

Spoiler

To qualify as a game I'd never buy outside a sale.

Edgy and informative.

I mean, we don't really want the Marine to turn into Duke Nukem or be too aware of the game he's in. I don't want them to exactly break down the 4th wall, but I would like to see some life to the cast of enemies. I think I can handle a 15 hour long game, maybe even 12 of DOOM. If you aren't ready for MP then you want something to keep you busy.

 

[T.O.P]

That's more than enough.

I guess you don't buy fps often then? that's a totally legit lenght for a campaign

 

[DieH@rd]

Bethesda PR does not lie about game length. I expect nice long campaign, same as W:TNO [12hrs].

BTW, Rage was 11hrs according to HLTB.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Never said it wasn't a "totally legit" length for a straight shooter.

Said I'd never pay full price for something that short.
