Techland has revealed how long it will take to beat Dying Light 2 when it releases on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC later this year. And as you would expect, it's similar in length to the first game, Dying Light. According to the game's lead game designer Tymon Smektala, mileage with the game will vary depending on playstyle and skill, which is to be expected. However, the designer didn't just leave fans with this. He also provided some numbers.
Speaking about the game's length, Smektala said that if players rush through the game and just focus on the main story, it will be roughly a 20-hour affair.

To this end, the designer reveals that just the opening area of the game has seven to eight hours of content packed in it.
“If you rush it, you should be able to finish the story in roughly 20 hours,” said Smektala. “But to see it all, you’d have to spend 2-3 times more time than that. Our opening area alone can last for over 7-8 hours if you want to explore every nook and cranny, so there’s absolutely a lot to play here.”
