The studio behind the upcoming Dying Light 2 has clarified the length of the game, following a backlash over allegations made over the weekend.

On Saturday, the game’s official Twitter account claimed: “To fully complete Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you will need at least 500 hours – roughly as long as it will take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid.”

Although the intention was intended to be a positive statement, the tweet did receive some backlash from players who felt this was too long for a single match.

Now, Techland has posted another tweet explaining that the main story itself is only 20 hours long.

“We wanted to clarify our recent communication about the amount of hours required to complete the game,” the studio said on Monday.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human is designed for players with different playing styles and preferences to explore the world as they see fit.

This message was accompanied by a new image stating that the game will take:

20 hours to complete the main story 80 hours to finish the main story and all side quests 500 hours to “maximize” the game with all “options and endings, check every place on the map, every dialogue and find everything that can be collected”.

Dying Light 2 has suffered a number of delays, but it appears to be finally approaching its February 4th release date without further setbacks.

A follow-up to the 2015 open-world zombie survival title was announced at the Xbox’s E3 2018 briefing and was originally scheduled for a Spring 2020 release, but that launch window has been pushed back to January 2020.

Then development was disrupted in June 2020 with the departure of narrative designer Chris Avellon following allegations of sexual harassment.

In March of this year, the Dying Light 2 team addressed its impatient fans by reading some of their most underrated tweets and confirming that the game was planned for a release this year.

This was followed in May with the game’s first official release on December 7, 2021, then postponed to February 4, 2022.
