[Video] Techland Clarifies “500 Hours” Tweet for ‘Dying Light 2′, New Summary Video Released
In what was obvious to many who read it, Techland has had to clarify its claims of Dying Light 2‘s length after some complaints about the “at least 500 hours” statement.
Over the weekend, Techland had tweeted out that in order to complete Dying Light 2 in its entirety, players would need to invest at least 500 hours into the game. The devs compared it to “almost as long as it would take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid” at 534 hours. They had followed that up by saying that this time was in regards to the game’s 100% completion rate.
This apparently did not sit well with some people, who complained that this was too long for a single game.
Techland then had to take to Twitter again, clarifying that the main story itself is only 20 hours in length. “We wanted to clarify our recent communication about the amount of hours required to complete the game. Dying Light 2: Stay Human is designed for players with different gameplay styles and preferences to explore the world how they see fit.”
The infographic accompanying the statement showed that players would need 20 hours to finish the main story, while 80 hours could be spent to finish the main story and all side quests. 500 hours would be needed to complete all of the side quests, getting all of the choices and endings, covering the entirety of the map, and finding all of the collectibles.
Meanwhile, the final episode of “Dying 2 Know” ahead of the game’s release is expected on January 13th. Techland has released a summary video for those who need a refresher on what transpired with the team in 2021.
Dying Light 2 will arrive on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch on February 4th.

While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
If you wish to get in on the fun prior to the game’s release, you can sign up for the playtest via the Steam page.
