EA estimates that the main story of STAR WARS Zero Company takes about 30–40 hours. The official answer says the total varies with chosen difficulty and the player’s experience with turn-based strategy games.
What the 30–40 hour estimate covers
The wording is specifically a main-story estimate. Zero Company combines Tactical Missions with Operations and management at the Den, so the number includes more than combat time but does not automatically describe every optional objective, alternate campaign approach, or full-completion run.
Difficulty and prior turn-based strategy experience are the two variables EA names directly.
Why your campaign can take longer or shorter
- Difficulty: EA explicitly names the chosen difficulty as a time variable.
- Strategy familiarity: experienced turn-based tactics players may read turns and systems faster.
- Decision pace: HoloTable choices, Den management, loadouts, and squad composition add planning time that differs by player.
- Retries: mission restarts and recovery from mistakes can extend a personal run, but EA does not assign them one standard total.
How long is a completionist run?
Unknown from the official evidence used here. EA gives a main-story range, not a verified 100% or all-achievements estimate. A third-party completion average may become useful after enough finished campaigns exist, but it should not be relabeled as the developer estimate.
Confirmed EA’s main story estimate is 30–40 hours.
Confirmed Difficulty and strategy experience affect the range.
Unknown A reliable official completionist, trophy, or every-optional-objective duration.
