This conversation is on everyone’s lips thanks to a misguided tweet from developer Techland the other day. It explained that Dying Light 2 will take ‘at least 500 hours to complete’ if you wanted to see everything the title had to offer (including various dialogue trees, different endings, all collectibles and so on).
20 hours: Time needed to complete the main story 80 hours: Time needed to finish main story and all side quests 500 hours: Time needed to max out the game with all side quests, endings, choices, checking everything on the map, finding every collectible, experiencing every dialogue choice.
These numbers are revised from a previous tweet from the company that noted “a regular player should finish the story and side quests and do quite a lot of exploring in less than 100 hours, so don’t worry!” If you’re excited about the game (whether or not you wanna pop about 20 days of your life into it), you may want to check out our 5 things you need to know video, explaining more about the game ahead of its release date on February 4, 2022.
