If you're a fan of the undead and love bashing zombies in the head, Dead Island 2 is definitely a game you should check out.

However, before jumping in, you might be wondering how long it will take you to complete the game. In this article, we'll go over the different playstyles and provide you with an estimate of how long a typical playthrough of Dead Island 2 will take.

Estimated Playtime for Dead Island 2

On average, a full playthrough of Dead Island 2 will take you between 15-20 hours. Compared to other RPGs that can take over a hundred hours to complete, Dead Island 2 doesn't overstay its welcome. However, the actual playtime can vary depending on a few factors.

The 15-20 hour estimate assumes that you will complete the main campaign and some side content. Dead Island 2 has a total of 24 main missions, 33 side quests, and 15 tertiary missions, which are collectively called Lost and Found. If you want to complete all of these, your playthrough could take closer to 30 hours or even more.

On the other hand, if you're only interested in the story and want to skip most side content, you could feasibly complete the game in about 12-15 hours.

However, we highly recommend completing some of the side missions, as they often provide some of the best parts of the game, including the best weapons. If you're short on time, you can always use the fast travel feature to speed things up.
