Dying Light News

In your opinion, how long is too long for a game? Whether it's simply finishing off the main story or getting that elusive Platinum trophy, how long are you willing to put into a game to see the completion percentage tick up to 100%? Is 500 hours too long? According to large swathes of the internet, yes. It is.

This conversation is on everyone's lips thanks to a misguided tweet from developer Techland the other day. It explained that Dying Light 2 will take 'at least 500 hours to complete' if you wanted to see everything the title had to offer (including various dialogue trees, different endings, all collectibles and so on).

These numbers are revised from a previous tweet from the company that noted "a regular player should finish the story and side quests and do quite a lot of exploring in less than 100 hours, so don't worry!"

Dying Light 2 Stay Human developer Techland revealed the system requirements to the action RPG sequel, and they range from manageable to enough horsepower to facilitate some truly stunning graphics.

Divided into four different sections mixing low settings, high settings, and ray tracing abilities, the absolute minimum graphics cards necessary to fire up Dying Light 2 are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and the AMD Radeon RX 560 4GB. Meanwhile, if you want the absolute best graphical experience complete with ray tracing, you need the NVIDIA RTX 3080 10 GB, though with shortages of video cards still in full force, those settings will be for the very few. It seems that the goal of these hardware requirements is to provide as wide of a window as possible for players to experience the game how they can and want.

Elsewhere in the requirements list, while you can play Dying Light 2 with a regular hard drive, Techland strongly recommends a solid state drive to play the game with. And the framerate ranges from 30-60 FPS. The game’s C-Engine, Techland’s proprietary engine, was built to be highly scalable.
