Death Stranding 2’s PS5 Story Could Take a Monstrous 75 Hours to Beat

by

Death Stranding 2: On the Shore may boast a narrative nearly twice as extensive as its precursor, potentially requiring approximately 75 hours to complete and unfold.

According to Eurogamer.net’s preview, if their estimations are correct, the gameplay session at Kojima Productions’ futuristic Tokyo office allowed them to play the game for around 30 hours, which is believed to be roughly 40% of the overall storyline.

Given our limited abilities compared to Carol Vorderman, we’ve made some simple calculations based on high school math. If these figures hold true, the entire campaign might last approximately 75 hours. For your reference, the initial Death Stranding game was completed in around 40 hours.

From my perspective as an eager fan, it’s clear that this game is an open-world adventure set in the vast Australian outback. The length of your journey will greatly depend on the side-quests you choose to engage with and the extent of exploration you embark on. However, judging by the storyline alone, it appears that this new title promises a more extensive narrative compared to its predecessor.

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share some intriguing tidbits about Kojima’s latest creation, Death Stranding. Interestingly, several previews hint that Kojima is opting for a more straightforward narrative this time around. Instead of weaving complex lore throughout the gameplay, he’s chosen to compile much of it in an in-game codex. This allows players like us to delve into the intricate details at our leisure.

We believe this action is beneficial: while we appreciate the director’s quirky style, it can become overwhelming when everything is thrown together at once. By simplifying the main storyline, yet ensuring there’s still plenty of depth for those who want to understand it, seems like a good balance.
