The campaign is organized into 17 linear story chapters. Players searching for mission count and chapter count are generally referring to the same campaign structure.

How long does the story take?

A normal first playthrough is estimated at about 20 hours. A direct run can be shorter, while a careful stealth run or collectible sweep can take longer.

What increases completion time?

  • Finding all 92 collectibles.
  • Replaying chapters through chapter select.
  • Completing platform achievements or the PlayStation platinum.
  • Playing Tactical Simulation escalations, operations, and challenges.
  • Testing alternate stealth, combat, and gadget routes.

Can you return to earlier chapters?

Yes. Chapter select lets you revisit story sections, so collectible cleanup does not require a full new campaign. Some Tactical Simulation activities unlock as campaign progress advances.
