007 First Light Show Length Reportedly Revealed

With the month of May officially upon us, that means it's time for another batch of anticipated titles. Chief among them is 007 First Light, a brand new James Bond experience from IO Interactive that revisits the old Bond titles with some new flair.

007 First Light is out on May 27th, and ahead of its release we've been given a ton of information and goodies, including a title track performed by none other than Lana Del Rey. Not only does Del Rey lend her vocal chops to the song, but IO Interactive kept the Bond tradition alive with a unique title sequence.

What we haven't learned, however, is how long 007 First Light will last, but, as first spotted by Insider Gaming, we now have as good an idea as we'll get before launch.

007: First Light could usher in a new era for licensed video games

After several hours with IO Interactive's take on Bond, I'm ready for more.

007 First Light promises to be a meaty experience

In a new video from YouTuber JorRaptor, based on conversations with members of the development team, 007 First Light will last about 20 hours, give or take.

Of course, depending on your play style, that number can go up or down. A sprinter or someone playing on a lower difficulty might be able to clock it in 15 hours, while a challenging run could be even longer. That's not to mention the game's trophy and achievement list, which can have their own requirements.

On paper, that number is pretty high, and it stands out even more when you compare 007 First Light to other action games.

For example, the longest Uncharted game is 15 hours (Uncharted 4) and the shortest is The Lost Legacy at seven hours. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, according to HowLongToBeat, averages about 16 hours for its main campaign, while the latest Tomb Raider trilogy never went beyond 13 1/2 hours.

Even among new releases, 007 First Light should stand out, as Pragmata is about an 11-hour game, while Resident Evil Requiem is about the same length, but like Bond, can increase for different playstyles.

Of course, game length isn't everything and there are certainly titles that overstay their welcome, and short games that are a revelation. But with how much games cost these days, it's nice to know that 007 First Light will have some meat on it.
