Dying Light 2 will take 500 hours to complete, claims Techland [updated] By Sean Carey, 10 Jan 2022 FollowtopicsDying Light 2: Stay HumanDying LightTechlandOnline Co-opXbox Series X|SOpen WorldSean Carey Update: Following the backlash from players, Techland has put out yet another tweet clarifying its 500-hour completion estimate for Dying Light 2. Techland says it will take players 20 hours to complete the main story, 80 hours to finish the main story and all of the side quests, and 500 hours to "max out the game with all main and side quests, choices and endings, checking every place on the map, every dialogue, and finding every collectible." Original Story: Over the weekend, Techland caused a bit of a stir in the gaming community, announcing that its upcoming action-RPG Dying Light 2 will take "at least" 500 hours to complete. "To fully complete Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you'll need at least 500 hours — almost as long as it would take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid!" the developer said in a tweet. Naturally, the news didn't go down well with fans, with some saying that the completion estimate had put them off from playing the game entirely. Techland was soon forced to clarify the completion time in a follow-up tweet, saying, "It's about 100% completion rate, most of the players who are in for story and side quests will be able to complete the game quicker, it will still be a solid experience though!" Of course, it's also worth noting that some users are excited to spend 500 hours with Dying Light 2 and think it's good value for money. Story + side quests, if you're not in a rush, should take you around 70-80hrs— Dying Light (@DyingLightGame) January 8, 2022 A further tweet from the developer later explained that Dying Light 2's story and side quests should take players "around 70 to 80 hours" to finish. At the moment, we don't have Dying Light 2's achievement list, so we don't know if achievement hunters will need to spend a ridiculous 500 hours to 100% complete the game and grab the 1,000G. In comparison, Dying Light sits with a completion estimate of around 50 hours without DLC expansions. Dying Light 2 launches on February 4th. What do you make of the 500 hours completion estimate? Has it put you off from playing the game, or do you think it's good value for money?
