Borderlands 2 Campaign 58 Hours

[Jul 19, 2012, 09:59 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The campaign in Borderlands 2 lasts about 58 hours, Gearbox’s VP of Marketing Steve Gibson tells GamerZines. "What we like to think about it is, Borderlands is a hobby. Some guide guys just did a playthrough of Borderlands 2 and they reported back to us that it takes 58 hours to play through the campaign – and that’s just one playthrough with one character," he says. "So the depth with which people can get into that…Yeah we look at it as a hobby, and that isn’t even counting the new Badass Points system and how that’ll affect every character you do. We want it to feel like you get more for your money, we’re happy for people to pay their money once and feel that they get ongoing value." Thanks VG247.

It's not short compared to the first game. You can go through the original Borderlands campaign (no DLC, just one playthrough) doing all side missions in something like 30 hours. Max level can happen naturally in probably 50ish hours if you're smart about running the armory at the end of playthrough 1 for good weapons going into playthrough 2, then run selectively through only some DLC in PT2. Not sure what all time your Steam profile said you put into it, but it should be noted that Steam doesn't monitor what you're actually doing in-game. You could have idled at the title screen all night and it'd add that time in, too.
