How long it takes to make a game?

Answer 1

It depends on the type of game. A next gen/current gen game can take 2-5 years (or more) with a lot of people working on it.

If you want to make a game i suggest getting into the modding community.

My first mod took me 7 months by myself.

Mods (which are basically games) can take anywhere between weeks to months to years depending on what you want to achieve.

New games like 'Call of Duty World at War' can take up to 5 years or longer to develop the game and create patches so glitches cannot be carries out

Answer 2

usually about any where between 1-5 years.
