Developer Techland’s latest title expands the scope and scale of its predecessor, which means it’s one pretty huge game considering that the original Dying Light was already large in size. If you’re wondering exactly what that means in terms of how long Dying Light 2 takes to beat, here’s what you need to know.
Much ado was made over Techland’s comments that Dying Light 2 would take somewhere in the region of 500 hours to beat — a staggering total that understandably caused a bit of an uproar across various media and public forums. It was later clarified that the figure was accounting for a completionist beating every single mission, side quest, optional activity, and finding all collectibles in the game.
How Long Dying Light 2 Takes to Beat
For those who simply want to beat the game’s story, Dying Light 2 takes somewhere between 20-30 hours. This includes some side quests and dabbling in various open-world activities, such as running GRE Dark Zones, ticking off Windmills, parkour challenges, and other distractions that take one off the beaten path of the main story.
Dying Light 2 is a huge game, but despite the very public outcry over its alleged 500-hour length, it’s no larger than any typical open-world RPG, such as Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3.
