11Overview2233Hero's Adventure: Another Tale has four endings plus one True Ending, and they are tied directly to the path you choose to walk through the jianghu. Because the game offers no fixed hero's path, there is no single intended conclusion: the way your story ends reflects the decisions you made along the way. This page covers what is confirmed about the game's endings and is clear about the details that have not yet been revealed.4455Multiple Endings, Tied to Your Path (Confirmed)6677The game commits to more than one possible conclusion, and the deciding factor is your conduct over the course of the journey rather than a branch picked at the very end. The protagonist begins as a sheltered youth with no destiny written for them, free to uphold justice as a righteous hero or to roam as a carefree wanderer (see Choices and Consequences). Since that identity emerges from accumulated choices, the ending you reach is the natural payoff of that path.8899A few principles follow from what is confirmed:10101111There is no "correct" ending. With no fixed hero's path, no single conclusion is presented as the true or canonical one. Different roads lead to different ends.Your choices are what steer you there. The same decisions that shape your survival, the fate of others, and the destiny of the jianghu also determine where your story ultimately lands.The destination reflects the journey. Because the world is unsettled and reactive after the events of the previous title (see Setting and Story), the consequences of your path can carry through to how it all resolves.12121313How Many Endings? (Confirmed August 2026)14141515In its August 2026 development update the studio confirmed the count for this title: there are four endings plus one True Ending, and an epilogue follows the main story to explore what happens after the credits. A single playthrough is expected to run 20 to 30 hours, with a full completionist run at around 60 hours. The studio's earlier game remains a reference point only for the kind of structure to expect; its numbers are not facts for this title.16161717In the original game, there were 10 or more distinct endings, varying with the path the player took. Hero's Adventure: Another Tale continues that multiple-ending design philosophy in a more focused shape, and the count is now confirmed: four endings plus one True Ending. The True Ending sits above the four standard conclusions, and the "10+" figure should be read as background about the previous game rather than a promise about this one.18181919DetailStatusGame has four endings plus one True EndingConfirmed for this titleEndings are tied to the path you chooseConfirmed for this titleNo single "correct" endingConfirmed (follows from no fixed hero's path)Earlier game had 10+ distinct endingsTrue of the original game onlyEpilogue after the main storyConfirmed (August 2026)Specific ending names and unlock conditionsNot yet revealed20+How a Run Is Shaped21+22+The August 2026 statement also set out the shape of the run those endings sit at the end of. The game is built as a prologue followed by four main chapters, with an epilogue after the main story that explores what happens once it is over. The epilogue is described as part of the structure rather than as a closing scene, which is why the studio counts it separately from the endings themselves.23+24+25+Element of the runWhat the studio has confirmedStructureA prologue, four main chapters, then an epilogue after the main storyEndingsFour endings plus one True EndingSingle playthroughAround 20 to 30 hoursFull playthroughAround 60 hours, including additional content and collectiblesBeyond the main storyAdditional modes and challenges, described as inspired by features from the studio's earlier game26+The gap between a 20 to 30 hour run and a roughly 60 hour full playthrough is where that additional content sits. The studio has said this game is not structured the same way its earlier open-ended title was, and that the aim is a substantial role-playing experience rather than a match for that game's open-world playtime. Seeing more than one of the five conclusions therefore means replaying a comparatively contained campaign rather than working through an open world a second time. See Choices and Consequences for the branching that feeds into them.27+28+Content Still Being Added Before Release29+30+The count is settled, but the material leading up to it is not finished. When the studio moved the release to around late December 2026, it said the extra months would go mainly into deepening the relationship between the protagonist and their companions. The stated work includes expanding key emotional moments for more of the major companions, adding new scenes and visual assets to carry those moments, and introducing campfire conversations in which companions share small stories and everyday moments.31+32+Because companion side stories and character events feed the branches that lead to a conclusion, that work is likely to change what the road to each ending feels like, even though the number of endings itself is fixed. None of it has shipped yet, and the studio has said it will share more once its plans take shape. See Relationships and Bonding and Companions.33+2034What Is Not Yet Revealed21352236No specific endings have been named for Hero's Adventure: Another Tale, and the precise conditions that lead to each one have not been published. The requirements for reaching particular conclusions, how the True Ending is unlocked, and how the game tracks your path toward an ending are all unconfirmed. Rather than guess at named outcomes or borrow specifics from the studio's earlier work, treat these as pending until the developer reveals them.23372438For how the branching that feeds into these endings works, see Choices and Consequences.
