Find out how long it takes to beat Minecraft Legends

Minecraft Legends is the newest addition to the series, adapting the voxel-based world into one that utilizes real-time strategy gameplay mechanics, but you should know how long to set out if you're looking to beat it.

Players may be wondering whether this Xbox Game Pass title can be beaten in a short space of time, as it would be great if you could fit this in-between a couple of longer experiences.

How long would it take to complete the game?

If you’re playing by yourself and on the standard difficulty mode, then you can expect to take around 12-15 hours to beat it. This is if you only focus on the main objective, don’t call in aid from a co-op partner, and don’t alter the difficulty settings.

However, there are a number of ways that you can extend or condense your playtime, should you desire. 

First of all, Minecraft Legends is playable in co-op. When two players load into the same world, the number of resources you can accrue essentially doubles, letting you build your structures and armies much more quickly.

As such, this means that you will likely speed through the main story much faster if you play it with a friend.

Easy vs Hard

Minecraft Legends also has a few different difficulty levels to choose from, all of which will alter how long it takes you to beat the game. On the lowest difficulty, you can expect to sail through the story at a rapid pace, potentially finishing in under 10 hours.

Alternatively, if you enjoy a challenge and want to drag out your playtime a little longer, you can ramp up the difficulty. This will make the enemies much more difficult to defeat, and you’ll need to think more carefully about how you spend your hard-earned resources.

If you play on the hardest difficulty, expect to spend upwards of 20 hours playing.

Can you keep playing after the story is beaten?

After you’ve beaten the main story, there are several ways that you can keep playing. The game is open-world, so you can continue to roam around and build structures even after defeating the final boss.

In addition, Minecraft Legends has a robust multiplayer mode that lets players go against each other in PvP. If this sounds like your way to play, then there’s the potential for endless hours of fun.
