If you’ve played Armored Core games in the past, you’re probably familiar with the 10-20-hour campaign format. Armored Core 6 significantly boosts the amount of time you’ll need to commit to clearing it, especially if you’re looking at getting all three endings. Here’s how long it takes, whether you’re a “single clear” type of player, or a completionist.
How long is the Armored Core 6 campaign?
In our experience, the Armored Core 6 campaign takes roughly 30 hours to complete for a single run.
Of course, said campaign can be cleared in less time if you really pick up the game’s inner workings quickly,
How long will it take to get all three endings?
After you clear the game, you’ll unlock the New Game+ (NG+) mode. This allows you to repeat the campaign on a different “cycle” (run), and get the other two endings you missed. Given that you’ll have all of the raw skills you’ve acquired through your first run, and you’ll get to keep a lot of stuff, these subsequent runs will take you less time to complete.
Still, expect a triple-ending clear to take about 40 hours or more.

How long will it take to clear everything?
Once you’ve seen all three endings, you’ve technically cleared all of the content Armored Core 6 has to offer. Still, you can go for every trophy/achievement, which for some folks, is the final challenge.
While most trophies are easy to suss out, the main one that’s going to give players trouble is the “S-rank every mission” trophy. This one could raise your playtime to 50 hours or more. That’s an investment!
