After delivering two entries in itsEvil Withinsurvival-horror franchise, developer Tango Gameworks is looking to try something a little different withGhostwire: Tokyo. Ditching the third-person viewpoint that Tango’s previous games were known for and embracing action-adventure instead of pure horror,Ghostwire: Tokyois a first-person game where players have to explore a version of Tokyo that’s succumbed to a supernatural blight.
While not a true open world game,Ghostwire: Tokyowill nevertheless have an open mapfor protagonist Akito to explore, complete with bonus activities and side quests to complete. Game Rant recently spoke withGhostwire: TokyoDirector Kenji Kimura about its side content and how it will add to the overall playtime, with Kimura revealing details about how long it should take players to beat the game.

According to Kimura, there are about 30 to 40 side missions inGhostwire: Tokyo, which are inspired by Japanese folklore, yokai, and urban legend. Kimura estimates that it will take mostGhostwire: Tokyoplayers about 30 minutes or less to complete each individual side mission. They are designed so players can pursue them as a break fromGhostwire: Tokyo’s main story questsand then return to the main missions without struggling to remember what was going on.
How Long Does Ghostwire: Tokyo Take to Beat?
Kimura said that beatingGhostwire: Tokyowill take most gamers an average of 15 to 20 hours. However, if one were to complete all ofGhostwire: Tokyo’s main story missions as well as all the side quests and other content, that number would double to about 30 to 40 hours of gameplay. So whileGhostwire: Tokyomay not be an absurdly long game, it should still prove to be a sizable adventure, especially for completionists that want to see everything it has to offer.
So it sounds likeGhostwire: Tokyowill be a bit longer than Tango’s previous games, which makes sense considering the genre shift from survival-horror to action-adventure. As for what players will be doing during this playtime,Ghostwire: Tokyogameplay footagehas shown that there will be plenty of variety in the minute-to-minute gameplay. SometimesGhostwire: Tokyohero Akito will be exorcising evil spirits, and other times he’ll be exploring shape-shifting apartment buildings. Other times he’ll be interacting withfriendly yokai, and other times still he’ll be cleansing Torii gates.
There’s a lot going on inGhostwire: Tokyo, and it remains to be seen how it all comes together. TheGhostwire: Tokyorelease dateis just over a month away at this point, so luckily fans don’t have to wait all that long to play it for themselves.
