Blasphemous, the first installment in the series, captivated players with its intricate pixelated design, challenging gameplay, and hauntingly beautiful world. With the highly anticipated Blasphemous 2 soon releasing, many gamers are eager to know how much time they’ll be spending in the sequel, returning as The Penitent One. So what is the game length of Blasphemous 2?
How long is Blasphemous 2 game length
I must admit I’m not entirely certain how long Blasphemous 2 is yet, but according to onemoregame their reviewer completed the game in roughly 15-20 hours, then another 5-10 hours for secrets. So for 100% completion, I’m estimating between 40/50 hours. Naturally, your time in Blasphemous 2 will vary based on individual skill and how deeply you immerse yourself into the world The Game Kitchen has created. This is the only review I’ve found where the game length was mentioned.

Yet, reflecting on the first game’s success and feedback, it seems that The Game Kitchen has crafted a similar or even more extended experience for the sequel. It’s common for sequels to build on their predecessors by introducing fresh regions to traverse, trickier puzzles, and deeper layers of lore. With that perspective, Blasphemous 2 has offered players a journey that’s potentially almost twice as long as its predecessor.

That said, considering the challenging nature of the original game, it was relatively brief when stacked against other titles that can extend to almost three times its length, such as Dark Souls. So The Game Kitchen aimed to keep the sequel’s duration within a similar range. They’d likely prefer players to relish and complete their game rather than feel like they’re trudging through an overly lengthy quest that outstays its welcome.
A pivotal factor, of course, is the game’s difficulty. Games like these can give you moments of confidence, only to toss in a boss that feels akin to slamming your head against a wall—a challenge that refuses to budge no matter how much time you invest.
For the original Blasphemous, according to Howlongtobeat, players who centered their play on the main storyline averaged about 13 hours. For completionists striving for that full 100%, it could stretch to a good 28 hours or more.
