Coming off the success of The Three Houses, Fire Emblem Engage is a bit of a curiosity. This new entry in the franchise is less focused on the narrative aspect, and far more geared toward snappy, involved combat encounters. But worry not, there is still a giant roster of goofball characters here to get acquainted with. And while Engage may place less focus on the between-mission content, there is still quite a bit of content to engage with.

Indeed, Fire Emblem Engage is still a lengthy undertaking, that will see you do battle all across the world, recruiting additional soldiers to your cause as you wage war against the foul Fell Dragon. But how long are we talking here?

Updated April 08, 2023 by James Kennedy: A lot has happened in the world of Fire Emblem Engage since this piece was first written. Most notably, we have had all four pieces of DLC release. We also now have a much larger sample size when it comes to completion times. So, we've updated all that info and included some helpful links for those looking to unlock the DLC content. Basically, we've given you a ton of new information to Engage with.

How Long Does It Take To Complete Fire Emblem Engage?

If you are simply looking to get to the credits, howlongtobeat.com estimates that you should be able to do so in just around 39 and a half hours. However, a more individual breakdown of these numbers is pretty telling: the shortest completion time is just a hair over 20 hours long, and the longest time is well over 60 hours. We suspect this has a lot to do with the different difficulty settings. So, if you are happy experiencing Engage on the easier difficulty setting, we suspect you will be under, that 39-hour estimate, but if you are playing the game on one of the more challenging settings, don't be surprised if it takes you an additional 10 to 15 hours.

And if you are one of those people who isn't content with just playing the main game, and have to collect every secret character hidden along the way in the Paralogue missions spread throughout, the average currently stands at a beefy 61 and half hours for playthroughs that also included side content.

How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent Fire Emblem Engage?

For those brave warriors looking to acquire every unit in the game, max out their relationships with each Emblem Ring, complete every last Paralogue mission, and obtain every last bond scene, then the currently listed completionist average sits at 82 hours. We have a sneaking suspicion that the average player may expect to take even longer than that if played on one of the harder difficulties. Fire Emblem Engage certainly isn't lacking content!

Is There DLC For Fire Emblem Engage?

Fire Emblem Engage launched alongside a DLC pack, but it was only the first of many. The Expansion Pass will provide four waves of DLC content, each including new Emblems to fight alongside, with the final wave even providing a new narrative! We have provided all the available information we have about the expansion pass below.
