According to the official Dying Light 2 Twitter channel, it will take you at least 500 hours to complete the zombie RPG. If you only do the main and side quests you are said to be busy about 20% of that time.
Of course, now that we’re only a few weeks away from release, it’s time for Techland to get our eyes on Dying Light 2. That seems to work if you like games that take up a lot of your time, because if you want to see and do everything in the game, according to the developer, you will be busy for at least 500 hours.
You can of course take that number with a grain of salt. It only applies to people who want to sift through every square inch of the game; even if you go for all the achievements you probably won’t be busy that long. There is also a good chance that this involves multiple playthroughs; because you can influence the story with choices you will not be able to see all possibilities in one playthrough.
A slew of tweets from suspicious gamers followed. Techland quickly added the 500 hours it takes for 100% completion (and that ‘few people will do that’). If you take your time in the game you will be done with the main story and the sidequests in about 70-80 hours. So it could be even faster.

And in case you haven’t seen it yet: earlier this week Techland shared a short trailer showing the skill trees from Dying Light 2. It becomes clear that, for example, the combat skill tree does not only consist of upgrades such as ‘get 5% more damage with melee weapons’, but that there are actual skills in it. You get skills like Block Charge and Ground Pound, or Bash and Tic Tac (in the Parkour tree).

Okay, one more then. An even shorter trailer than the one above features Dying Light 2’s 4K graphics. Full of pretty pictures – yes, with RTX on.
