How long does it take to complete the story of Anthem? And after how many hours will you reach the max level?
This is how long the campaign of Anthem takes: It takes approximately 20 to 30 hours to finish the story of Anthem. It really depends on how much you do on the side. This is based on reports from some early players:
- Those who focus solely on the main story and want to complete it as quickly as possible will finish the solo campaign relatively quickly, around level 20 after 15 to 20 hours of gameplay.
- If you talk to every character in Anthem, complete side quests, or take longer on the grind-heavy tomb quest, your playtime will also increase.
At around 30 hours, most should reach the end of the solo campaign. We also looked into this question for the campaign: Can you play Anthem as a single player?
Around 30 hours is also when the max level of 30 is achieved. According to BioWare, level 30 is when the endgame of Anthem begins.
The story of Anthem continues after the campaign
What comes after the campaign? So far, players in the endgame are mainly focused on the hunt for loot. There are particularly valuable masterpieces and legendary items.
These can be obtained either in freeplay, through contracts, or raid-like strongholds.
Anthem is a live-service game. This means BioWare plans to develop and expand the game for many years to come. We already know that BioWare wants to introduce new javelins to Anthem.
BioWare wants to shape Anthem like a good Netflix series and also advance the story. This is supposed to happen through certain story events that will change the world of Anthem.
Roadmap shows what will happen until May: BioWare released a detailed update plan for Anthem. It shows that important features like guilds are still coming to the game. Different events are also listed. Things will really get started in Anthem from March.
The playtime of Anthem could theoretically extend for years.
