Dying Light 2 won't actually take 20 days to complete
Development studio Techland has clarified the length of Dying Light 2 — its upcoming open-world, parkour zombie game — in response to backlash from disappointed fans.
Over the weekend, the studio claimed on Twitter that the game would take “at least 500 hours” to fully complete. Although intended as a positive announcement, it quickly drew complaints about unnecessarily bloated game lengths, as well as the irritation of some players who found the extended playtime unenticing.
In a follow-up tweet yesterday, Techland significantly revised the game’s estimated playtime downwards in an apparent attempt to alleviate those concerns. The game’s main storyline will take approximately 20 hours to complete, it says, while players looking to complete the main story alongside all side quests can expect to spend 80 hours in the game.
The 500-hour figure applies only to those who want to fully complete every aspect of the game, the studio said, such as finding all points of interest on its map, exploring every dialogue option, finding every collectible, and completing all side quests. The idea is that the game will cater to a range of playstyles.
“We wanted to clarify our recent communication about the amount of hours required to complete the game,” the official Dying Light 2 Twitter account tweeted.
“Dying Light 2: Stay Human is designed for players with different gameplay styles and preferences to explore the world how they see fit.”
