Here is how long it takes to clear Resident Evil Requiem

Polygon reveals that a standard playthrough of Resident Evil Requiem takes between 10 and 14 hours, while subsequent speed runs on casual difficulty can be finished in under five hours.

Survival horror fans looking to dive into the latest chapter of Capcom's flagship franchise are probably wondering how much time to carve out of their schedules. According to a comprehensive breakdown by Polygon, your initial run through Resident Evil Requiem will heavily depend on your playstyle and whether you decide to hunt down every last collectible or simply focus on surviving the main narrative.

Players taking a thorough approach on the standard difficulty, which includes exploring every corner, reading every lore document, and cracking open every safe, will likely clock in at around 14 hours. Those who push through at a faster pace without stopping to smell the rotting roses can trim that down to roughly 10 hours. Meanwhile, subsequent playthroughs on casual difficulty without major bonuses take about four and a half hours, proving that map knowledge and route optimization remain crucial for speedrunners.

The campaign splits its runtime across distinct phases, forcing players to balance puzzle solving and inventory management with high stakes combat. Whether you are sneaking around as Grace Ashcroft or blasting through hordes as Leon S. Kennedy, managing your resources and mapping out safe rooms will dictate your overall pacing.
