The official Rage 2 release date is only one day away, and many fans are certain to be excited to dive into Avalanche Studio and id Software's new open world shooter. However, other players may be on the fence about picking up the title, and they may have one specific question on their minds: How long is Rage 2?

With the first Rage 2 reviews now available, there are more exact details on the Rage 2 length to be considered. While these details are only coming from a handful of sources at this time, the picture being painted is quite a consistent one: the Rage 2 game length is fairly short.

Specifically, there is indication that the Rage 2 story length is five to seven hours. To emphasize, this is the amount of time that players that plan to just focus on the game's campaign can expect to spend with the title. That said, exploring the Rage 2 world, and completing its side missions, will undoubtedly increase the game's longevity.

More explicitly, several reviewers have stated that the Rage 2 length is in the range of 11 to 15 hours. This duration comes through completing the Rage 2 campaign and tackling a number of side missions.

For those that want to extend the Rage 2 length even further, it is indicated that nearly everything that the game has to offer can be seen in around 30 hours. While this may still seem short, when compared to many other open world games, it is certainly significantly more time than just the Rage 2 story length.

Indeed, it seems that Rage 2 looks to offer a more compact experience than the sprawling, open world titles that many fans have become accustom to. However, if the Rage 2 gameplay ends up being truly exceptional, players may still find the game worth purchasing, despite its short length.

On that matter, the currently available Rage 2 reviews are quite positive, with many praising the title for its combat. However, a majority of these reviews are also quick to point out that players should not expect to get a great deal from the game's world and story, a sentiment that seems well aligned with the short Rage 2 length.

Rage 2 releases May 14 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
