Find out how much time you need to beat Dead Island 2

You might be wondering how much time you will spend in Dead Island 2's HELL-A, especially depending on whether you focus on the main quest or take a more completionist route by finishing 100% of the available content. 

Dead Island 2 is an action role-playing game set in Los Angeles as a zombie outbreak takes over the place, forcing you to explore various areas in the city to find a way of escaping. Much like the original game, there is plenty of side content to also engage with, so you may want an explainer of how long the game is. 

How long would it take to beat the main story and 100% completion? 

If you just want to focus on the main story, a straight run-through of the main quest will take you roughly 10–15 hours, but if you want to engage with some of the side content and take a more leisurely pace, the game can take anywhere between 20-30 hours to finish.

For those of you looking to grab every achievement and gain 100% completion, the game can take upwards of 40 hours, as this requires you to finish every quest, open every fuse room, collect every key, find all the journals, and much more. 

As always, these lengths are estimations based on our own time with the game, so your mileage may vary depending on various factors.
