Watch Dogs takes around 35-40 hours to complete

Eagerly anticipated Watch Dogs will take the average player around 35-40 hours to complete, according to creative director Jonathan Morin.

Morin was answering questions from fans over Twitter when he mentioned the average gameplay time, while saying that anyone looking to complete everything will need to spend around 100 hours with the game.

"I would say the average player which does free roam a bit tend to reach the end within 35-40h," he said.

"But doing everything is close 100h."

The extra hours are expected to come from the online mode, which can have players entering each other's game worlds.

"Try it first," Morin added. "It balances itself in frequency based on your interaction with the feature."

Watch Dogs was recently given a firm release date of 27 May.
