During our time in Devil May Cry 5, it took us approximately 15 hours to beat the game’s campaign while playing on the Son of Sparda difficulty setting. If you play on a lower difficulty setting (like Human) you may be able to beat Devil May Cry 5 in as little as 10 hours. After beating the campaign the first time, you’ll likely want to go back through and play the campaign again as there are things you can unlock by doing so.

For example, playing through the campaign on the Dante Must Die difficulty setting can help you unlock all of the Super Alternate costumes for V, Nero, and Dante. If you opt to play through the campaign again, especially on a challenging setting like Dante Must Die, it may take you around 30 hours to fully complete Devil May Cry 5. Fortunately, the option to do this is left entirely up to you.
If you’re only interested in playing Devil May Cry 5 for the story, you’re looking at anywhere from a 10 to 15-hour completion time. For completionists, it may take you upwards of 30 hours if you plan on playing the campaign a second time on Dante Must Die in order to unlock things like Super Alternate costumes and the Infinite Devil Trigger ability.
