    Rise of the Tomb Raider is a pretty big game. The upcoming latest chapter in the Tomb Raider series, coming to Xbox One first this winter, will take around 30 to 40 hours for completionists to beat.​
    Speaking to IGN, Crystal Dynamics lead designer Mike Brinker explained that the hub spaces in the game are three times larger than those in its predecessor and there’s a lot more abilities to unlock. Like, a lot.​
    “Not only are we going wide, but we’re going deeper,” he said. “We’re looking at 30 to 40 hours for the completionist. That delves into things like, for example, our skill trees.”​
    “We used to have, I think it was 15- or 16-odd skills. Now we have over 50 skills. And we have three different tracks you can upgrade, and they’re each separated by four tiers. And then you’re looking at things like the translation system and the crafting system that really bring about all those layers of her leveling up as a character.”​
    Brinker also explained that if you just want to complete Rise of the Tomb Raider's story, without stressing about skill trees and collectibles, then it's gonna take you around 15-20 hours.​
    We recently published 10-minutes of brand new Rise of the Tomb Raider gameplay. You can watch it in video section. Rise of the Tomb Raider comes to Xbox One first on November 10th in North America and November 13th in Europe.​
