With plenty of titles over the years, many of these games have had incredible and lengthy stories that have interested players. Many have wondered which of these games from Blizzard Entertainment truly take the longest to beat, excluding live-service games that have a continuing story.
10Diablo
The originalDiablois where many players of the franchise first began to fall in love with the action role-playing game. Even the first game in the franchise had a decently lengthy story, which followed the adventure of the player’s character as they attempted to put an end to Diablo himself by ridding the Land of Man of its corruption and eventually defeating Diablo in his mortal form.
This incredibly well-thought-out story took the majority of payers just over thirteen hours to complete it withplenty of content still in storefor players through the means of side quests and leveling to work on their build.
9Warcraft: Orcs And Humans
While the likes of the MMOWorld of Warcraftaren’t being mentioned asone of the longest gamesfrom Blizzard Entertainment, many of its single-player titles such asWarcraft: Orcs and Humansfrom 1994 have managed to find themselves a place as one of the longest Blizzard games created.
What makes this even more interesting is that there are two campaigns inside this game which makesWarcraft: Orcs and Humansquite the short title if a player was to only focus on one campaign. This real-time strategy title has taken players roughly fourteen hours to complete both campaigns. Although plenty of the futureWarcrafttitles have taken even longer to complete.
8StarCraft 2: Wings Of Liberty
A more modern title from Blizzard Entertainment,Starcraft 2: Wings of Libertywas released to players in 2010, and many were happy to have another RTS title that took place in space. The campaign of this real-time strategy that is entirely free to its players took the average gamer to complete the campaign in just over seventeen hours.

7Diablo 3
Returning to theDiablofranchise,Diablo 3is another highly appreciated game from the series that players continued to enjoy even after completing the main campaign. Expanding on from the originalDiablo, this action RPG could be completed in around eighteen hours, though it still isn’t one of the longestDiablotitles created.
As the game had slightly altered the lore from the first and second games, it’s of no surprise to see thatDiablo 3took players longer to complete due to revealing these changes. The story was split into four acts which made it much easier to follow the campaign. However, a fifth act was revealedthrough the DLCReaper of Souls though this isn’t included in the hours it took to beat.
6Warcraft 2: Tides Of Darkness
Returning to the originalWarcraftfranchise,Warcraft 2: Tides of Darknessis another real-time strategy title created by Blizzard Entertainment that not only attracted players to the series but also had a large story for players to follow.
This title follows on from the Orc campaign of the originalWarcraftRTS, where the second war has begun that sees the continued rivalry of the orcs against the humans. While even the original campaign would take a player twenty hours to complete, the story is then continued further through the Beyond the Dark Portal DLC.

4Warcraft 3: Reign Of Chaos
Out of all theWarcraftgames released,Warcraft 3is by far the longest of the franchise with it taking players twenty-one hours to complete the main campaign. Although the wars between orcs and humans may be finally over, the alliance that was created is beginning to fracture.
With the game focusing on three different heroes, it is unsurprising thatWarcraft 3is the longest in the franchise. Each hero has their own well-thought-out story that allows players to use different units as well as see how each of these stories begins to overlap.
3Diablo Immortal
AlthoughDiablo Immortalhad a controversial release back in 2022, the game still received praise for how it successfully brought the title onto mobile devices. Even on a smaller platform the story ofDiabloonly got bigger with the game telling various stories that ranged from the events of the secondDiablotoDiablo 3.

AlthoughStarCraft 2has been made even larger through the released DLC for the title, the originalStarCraftback in 1998 took players even longer to complete the main campaign. The three episodes of the Sci-Fi strategy title challenged players through various missions that were split up by occasional cutscenes, thus makingStarCraftthe second-longest game created by Blizzard Entertainment.
The game later received a Remastered version due to how greatly successful it was though this did nothing to change how long the original RTS was.
1Diablo 2

LikeDiablo 3, Diablo 2was split into four different acts that follow on from the aftermath of the original game where the unnamed adventure has been corrupted byDiablosince defeating him. This epic adventure is likely to take a player thirty-four hours to complete with plenty of side content to get lost in that is sure to make the RPG last even longer.
