![]() Here’s a reminder, too, that you can also stop playing that 500 hours-long game anytime you like-you don’t have to let it overwhelm you. This is despite still occasionally fearing that I’ll miss out on the next exciting feature, another adorable visiting villager, and the tantalising possibility that the very next update may reignite yet a few more months of what used to be a calming morning ritual of logging into the game, collecting resources, and visiting old friends. I’ve yet to exhaust every avenue of entertainment, explore every new feature or meet every newly introduced character since then, but I’m already content to put some distance between us. Take Animal Crossing: New Horizons, for instance even the game’s biggest update last year has failed to entice me into extending my stay on my paradise island for more than a few visits after the initial month. The good news is that products don’t last forever-and you don’t always have to allow your favourite game to bleed beyond its run time. A reality where we may see ourselves only playing a few games, over and over again, and with developers mostly working on a single release rather than branching out to making brand new, even experimental, experiences is closer than we might think. This is likely to get even longer, with the advent of live service models that see studios constantly churning out updates and new content to keep their games ticking. Games can be a hefty investment, and many triple-A games average between 10 to 50 hours-and that only accounts for completing the main storyline. Would I rather walk from Warsaw to Madrid, instead of devoting an entire month to play one single game? The answer is obviously yes.īut this isn’t new, of course it’s fuelled by a demand for games to be lengthier, if only to justify the price that’s being paid. That’s how we’ve ended up with the reality of seeing Techland’s proud announcement that Dying Light 2 will require players to invest around 500 hours to see everything it has to offer, along with a pseudo-fascinating factoid that this is almost as long as the time it takes to walk from Warsaw to Madrid. ![]() ![]() Given the game is 500 hours long perhaps they could have cut say, half of it out, and released it two years ago when it was meant to be out? Just a thought.These days, time is a commodity of yours that many game studios-and a litany of other companies-want to monopolise. Unfortunately, we’ve realized for us to bring the game to the level we envision, we need more time to polish and optimize it,” said Pawel Marchewka, CEO of Techland. “Dying Light 2 Stay Human is by far the biggest and the most ambitious project we’ve ever done. That’s if you finish the main storyline along with all side missions, challenges. This the second time the release date has moved, in January 2020 Techland announced that the game would be delayed out of its early 2020 window to allow additional development time, According to developer Techland, Dying Light 2 Stay Human takes about 500 hours to fully complete. Techland’s Dying Light 2 is one of 2022’s most highly anticipated titles, however the announcement that the game contains 500 hours of gameplay has shocked the gaming universe. Dying Light 2 made the headlines after its developer, Techland, claimed it would take more than 500 hours to complete everything in its open-world zombie survival game. Published Dying Light 2 is 500 hours in length, which makes it one of the biggest open-world games of all time when compared to others in the genre. As a father of two kids I don’t have the time to sink into these huge time sinks,” reads another.ĭying Light 2 Stay Human was recently delayed and will now be landing on digital and physical stores on February 4th, 2022. ![]() “That’s a bit too much so will have to wait for a sale on this one and get Horizon or something else, 500 far too much,” reads one tweet, “No offence, I loved your previous games but that is a huge turn off. The news has been met with mixed reaction, die hard fans of the first game seem to be happybut there are quite a few people have been put off by the reveal.
