Dying Light 2has been a hotly anticipated game ever since it was first revealed at Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference. Unfortunately for fans, there have been numerous delays pushing theDying Light 2release date back, and there have been reports that the game is experiencing a rather troubled development cycle. There’s been very little news aboutDying Lightsince the reveal trailer, but things have been ramping up and it’s expected that the game will still launch at some point later this year.
Recently,Dying Light 2Lead Game Designer Tymon Smektala spoke with WCCFTech to discuss various aspects of the game in one of the most revealing interviews to date. The interview touched onDying Light 2’s open worldand how much content fans will be able to expect from the final release. According to Tymon, players rushing through the story will be able to beat the game in about 20 hours, but those who go for 100% completion are looking at more like 40 to 60 hours of gameplay.

The opening area inDying Light 2will apparently take seven to eight hours of playtime by itself if players completely explore it. From the sounds of it,Dying Light 2should be a fairly substantial game and players should get plenty of bang for their buck. Exactlyhow many side quests there are inDying Light 2and other activities wasn’t revealed, but fans should find out more on that front later this year.
Unfortunately, it’s unclear exactly when moreDying Light 2footage will be revealed to the public. The developers released somefreshDying Light 2gameplaylast month, while also taking the time to poke fun at impatient gamers who have been hounding the development team for updates. This prompted an amusing response fromDead Island 2, another open world zombie game that has been notoriously trapped in development hell.
That’s not to say thatDying Light 2is actually in development hell. While that is the public perception, some of the developers have pushed back against that claim, insisting that progress has been made onDying Light 2regularly throughout its development.
Dying Light 2updateshave been more regular since the start of this year, and this recent interview with WCCFTech is one of the more eye-opening reveals the game has enjoyed since its initial reveal trailer. Hopefully this is a sign that zombie fans can look forward to plenty moreDying Light 2reveals sooner rather than later.
Dying Light 2is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
