How long is Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden? Campaign, side quests, & more

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a spooky adventure set in a New England colony, but how long is this ghost-hunting adventure?

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is here, and if you want to know what we thought of it, check out our review. However, finding the time to fit the game into your calendar as you work through your increasing backlog of games may be the hard part.

Fear not, we know how long Banishers is and will give you a breakdown of how many hours the main quest will take you to complete, as well as the side content.

There’s a caveat though when it comes to Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, as most of the game is spent investigating the various hauntings around New Eden, with each one contributing to the overall narrative. So to get the most out of Banishers, and to unlock the best ending, you’re going to want to complete every haunting quest. Here’s what you need to know about the length of the game.

How long is Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden?

To beat the story of Banishers without delving into much side content, you’re looking at just under 25 hours of playtime until the credits role. However, to have more control over your ending and the character’s fates, you’ll need to complete the various haunting cases, which add roughly another 10 hours of game time.

We’d also strongly recommend you do these cases, as we found them the most entertaining and engaging part of the game. Every case is a ghost story in its own right – and let’s be honest, we all bought this game to be creeped out by some spooky goings-on.

Finally, if you engage in the rest of the side content and take your time exploring New Eden and chatting with the various NPCs, most of whom are hiding a dark secret, it’ll likely take you just over 40 hours until you’re done.

Banishers isn’t a game where you should race to the finish line. It’s an experience you should take your time playing and soak up the ghostly atmosphere. After all, when else are you going to get the chance to explore a haunted colony after the landing of the Mayflower?
