Developer Techland via Twitter revealed Dying Light 2 Stay Human will take 500 hours to complete the game 100 percent.
"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!" reads a tweet from the developer.
Techland added in a follow-up tweet, "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!"
Dying Light 2 Stay Human will launch for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 4, 2022.

Here is an overview of the game:
Over twenty years ago in Harran, we fought the virus—and lost. Now, we’re losing again. The City, one of the last large human settlements, is torn by conflict. Civilization has fallen back into the Dark Ages. And yet, we still have hope.
You are a wanderer with the power to change the fate of The City. But your exceptional abilities come at a price. Haunted by memories you cannot decipher, you set out to learn the truth… and find yourself in a combat zone. Hone your skills, as to defeat your enemies and make allies, you’ll need both fists and wits. Unravel the dark secrets behind the wielders of power, choose sides and decide your destiny. But wherever your actions take you, there's one thing you can never forget—stay human.

if you complete 100% this game will end being a game worth every penny spent plus!
No real need to 100% everything. No big deal.
This game wasn't even on my radar till I read this. I enjoy long games and after researching and finding out it's an action role-playing, I'm interested.
Boy I read something like this and it just puts me off to a game. I mean I don't want to spend 500 hours to complete a game, even a 100 hours seems too long.
I actually quit AC Valhalla about 5 hours in when it became apparent it was going to take 80-100 hours to 100% the game. 500 hours is Monday boggling to me.
Sometimes less is more. As I’ve gotten older and don’t have limitless free time on weekends and during summers anymore, I’ve grown to really appreciate the games that respect my time
It took me 150 hours on hard mode for battles and exploration to 100 percent the msin capaign in ac vahalla with all its side quest and exploration and bouty hunters lol. With the 2 dlc my game time reached 215 hours total to 100 percent both dlc
It took me 90+ hours just to beat the game. Valhalla was way too much of a time sink that was not supported by the repeatitive gameplay loop it had.
Over bloated with content doesn't necessarily mean game of the year material.
Agreed length by itself isn't indicative of a game being good bad or mediocre, if I put hundreds of hours into a game its because i'm enjoying it and the time just flies, to me the best games are the ones where even though you have been playing them for ages when you look back and see 300 plus hours like I did with monster hunter world the number of hours still comes as a surprise.
Ugh Willy you did it again, it will also release on the Switch via Cloud
And I thought things like Luigi's Mansion 3 or Uncharted 4 took too long. Lots of content is fine and all, but a game needs to be really exceptional, like really, really exceptional for me to get anywhere close to 100 hours. It took me 273 hours to complete Breath of the Wild (not 100%, found all shrines but not all seeds) because that was such an exceptional game, and those are extremely rare, but even with that game I doubt I would have wanted to keep going for twice that long. Or it has to be an endless sandbox city builder which I can play for decades on end.
I ended up putting like 106 hrs into DL, but that was mostly because I wanted to try multiple runs and test out weapons/mods.
The first game was already filled with loads of fetch quests, so I wouldn't be surprised if 70% of this game is padding. I want to hope that the story is good, but considering the game has been delayed time and time again, I dunno.
I don't think having a gma ebe 500+ hrs long = quality content, certainly not today anyway.
Thats way too much honestly!
My maximum for a game is around 100 hours to get 100% if the game is really good and continues to capture my attention throughout.
I dislike it when developers brag about how huge the world is or how long a game is or how difficult the boss fights are.
Tell me not to play your game without telling me not to play your game.
Yeah my hype dropped. Unless my friend make me get it for co op, this is a hard pass for me. If I do get it, I will not be going for the plat to say the least.
It's a GaaS
Cool? That tweet doesn't say anything about GaaS though.
And lots of GaaS games don't require 500 hours to complete fully.
No, I was responding to your "challenge"
The best games that turn out big are ones that you go into expecting the usual and end up spending a lot of time in them, not because you want to 100% them but because you are enjoying them, an example for me was Monster Hunter World I expected to spend a week or two playing it instead it was over 300 plus hours .
