Approximately The Last of Us Part 2’s campaign length is about 20 to 30 hours, made of 11 distinct chapters.
To give you a rough benchmark, I played on Medium difficulty, found about 80% of The Last of Us Part 2’s collectables, and stealthed my way through most of the game’s combat encounters, and my final save came in at the 22 hour mark. By comparison, our Guides Editor Leon Hurley beat the game in just over 32 hours, having explored every nook and cranny of Naughty Dog’s levels, including backtracking to make sure he hadn’t missed anything.
The campaign is also there to be replayed, with a Last of Us Part 2 New Game Plus mode (opens in new tab), customisable difficulty settings including Permadeath and Grounded Mode, and bonus features such as The Last of Part 2 Cheat Codes. There’s also reams of supplementary content to enjoy in the Extras section of the game, which contains never-before-seen concept art and highly detailed model viewer which reveals more about some of the allies and enemies you’ll encounter in the campaign.
All told, you could easily soak up 50+ hours of your free time in The Last Of Us Part 2 if you’re particularly fond of its excellent campaign. There may be no Factions multiplayer mode included this time around, then, but the value for money of Naughty Dog’s sequel is still excellent.
