How long is Dead Island 2?

Wondering how long Dead Island 2 is before you take the plunge? Short on time and trying to decide if you can fit it in with your busy schedule? It's fair to say that Dead Island 2 is big, which may or may not be good news depending on your viewpoint, but although there's a lot that you can do beyond the campaign it won't take you too long to complete the main story. If you want to know how long it will take to beat Dead Island 2, then all of the details are broken down for you below.

How long to beat Dead Island 2?

How long it will take to beat Dead Island 2 depends on whether you just want to complete the main campaign, or see everything its Hell-A location has to offer. If you solely focus on the 24 story quests and avoid distractions, then you should be able to roll the credits after around 15 hours. On top of that, there are 33 side quests and 15 Lost & Found quests, which will probably take you another 10 to 15 hours depending on how many you cleared during the campaign. These extras are definitely worth completing though, as they'll get you some of the best Dead Island 2 weapons in the game. Finally, if you want 100% completion then there are also 84 challenges to beat, which could take you considerably longer as some have huge goals, such as Hollywood Rich List that requires you to receive (but not hold) a total of $1,000,000 in cash (you can speed that up by buying and selling weapons with Traders).

To summarise – Dead Island 2 is around 25 to 30 hours long if you want to complete all of the story and side quests, and significantly longer if you decide to beat every challenge for 100% completion.
