![]() ![]() Let's start the cross-company contrasts with Techland's Polish compatriots over at CD Projekt Red. ![]() It goes without saying (if the Techland-reported numbers are, indeed, accurate) that Dying Light 2: Stay Human has an enormous amount of content when compared to its predecessor. While main + extras playthroughs take between 35 hours and 46.5 hours, depending on the version you're playing. According to HLTB, the original Dying Light takes 55 hours or just under 80 hours to do completionist runs (depending on if you're playing the base game or the Enhanced Edition). I began by looking at how Dying Light 2's estimates look against Techland's first entry in the series. Still, they are the most accessible tools we have to estimate play times for a wide swath of games. It is worth noting that these numbers are user-generated, and as such, may not be completely accurate. Seeing as how the initial Techland tweets were focused on the "completionist" and "main + extras" numbers (and 20 hours for the mainline story isn't anything out of the ordinary), that's what I decided to focus on when comparing the numbers. While I was mostly joking in that tweet, it got me thinking about how Dying Light 2: Stay Human's reported length compares to some of gaming's most famously (and infamously) long games.Īs a result, I visited, which takes users' play times and aggregates them to deliver three different times for each game: main story, main + extras, and completionist. I even poked a little fun at the announced length of the game on Twitter, joking about how I thought I was prepared to review any game after playing through Persona 5 Royal on a deadline. Later, as the studio saw some of the negative response, the Dying Light Twitter account clarified to one fan that you can complete the story and side-quests in 70 to 80 hours, "if you're not in a rush." Then, the official Twitter account took the messaging wide, saying that "500 hours is related to maxing out the game – finishing all the quests, endings, and exploring every part of the world, but a regular player should finish the story + side quests and do quite a lot of exploring in less than 100 hours, so don't worry!" Then, the Twitter account further clarified that you can mainline the story in just 20 hours and do much of the story and side content in around 80 hours – a far cry from the original "500 hours" messaging.Įven with that clarification, 80 hours is still quite the commitment to get through the story and the side quests (especially considering how good and integral to the story the side content seems from my hands-on session back in November). While the studio likely thought this was good messaging to showcase just how much content is in its branching-narrative story, the announcement was met with some backlash amidst the excitement, as some players bemoaned the length and worried about bloat or that they would never see the end of such a massive adventure. We might not see Dying Light 2 come to Xbox Game Pass at launch but there’s a very good chance that it will come out sometime after that period.Over the weekend, developer Techland made waves on social media by tweeting that its upcoming open-world zombie sequel, Dying Light 2: Stay Human, would take "at least 500 hours" to fully complete. Sadly, no announcement has been made yet about Dying Light 2 coming to Xbox Game Pass, though there is a long time between now and December so anything can happen. Microsoft has been able to get third-party games to hit Game Pass on day one, like the upcoming Back 4 Blood, so it’s natural to ask about every major third-party game and Dying Light 2 is no exception. However, Xbox One and Xbox Series X fans are wondering if we’ll be seeing Dying Light 2 on Xbox Game Pass, aka the best subscription-based gaming service ever.
