Techland has announced that it’ll take around 500 hours to fully complete its survival game, Dying Light 2.
“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 studio stated in a tweet.

“Note: 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!” it added via a follow-up tweet a short while later.
The tweet may not have quite had the response the company was expecting, however. After the tweet racked up thousands of replies and quote-tweets – many saying the time to beat was off-putting, with one declaring: “I am 100 per cent cancelling my pre-order. 500 hours of complete bullshit is guaranteed. You can not make a game this long without and ridiculous amount of crap filler” – Techland clarified that that 500 hours merely applied to completionists. A follow-up tweet said “regular players” should be able to mop up the story and side quests in “less than 100 hours”.
