The Dragon Age series first started all the way back in 2009. Since there were three main entries released in the series’ first five years of its existence, you’d expect there to have been a lot more installments by now. However, Bioware seems to take a quality-over-quantity approach to the series.
The good thing about this is that you don’t have to play too many games to catch up on everything. That said, it’s worth pointing out that the Dragon Age titles aren’t known for being particularly short. After all, the main games are large-scale RPGs that contain plenty of exploration and side quests. Using data provided by HowLongToBeat, it’s possible to work out how many hours you will need to invest to play through all the games. All that information is here.
How Long Is Every Dragon Age Game?
While there are more Dragon Age games than you probably think there are, a few of them are small mobile or browser games that HowLongToBeat doesn’t have completion scores for.
So, the focus is on the four main instalments as well as a couple of side ones: Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Dragon Age Journeys: The Deep Roads, and Heroes of Dragon Age. Here is the length of each one:
|
How Long To Beat The Story |
How Long To 100 Percent Completion |
|
|---|---|---|
|
Dragon Age: Origins |
40.5 hours |
87 hours |
|
Dragon Age 2 |
26.5 hours |
58 hours |
|
Dragon Age: Inquisition |
47 hours |
129 hours |
|
Dragon Age: The Veilguard |
17 hours |
114 hours |
|
Dragon Age Journeys: The Deep Roads |
1.5 hours |
4 hours |
|
Heroes of Dragon Age |
6 hours |
74.5 hours |
There isn’t much data on HowLongToBeat for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, so the numbers for that game might not be quite accurate.
How Long Is Every Piece Of Dragon Age DLC?
All the main entries in the series contain several pieces of downloadable content. Naturally, these add several more hours to each game. Here are all of them and how long they take to beat:
