Developer Gearbox has come out and stated that one single run through of the campaign in Borderlands 2 could take you nearly 60 hours.

Gearbox Marketing Vice-President Steve Gibson spoke to regarding the lengthy campaign set to feature in the upcoming sequel to Borderlands. Due for release on 21 September, it looks like you may be getting your money’s worth.

Mr Gibson said:

“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.

“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.”

Borderlands’ life was extended substantially thanks to the slew of great DLC which released over the months which followed the initial launch. Borderlands 2 looks set to top that with the boxed product already full to the brim with content and hours of enjoyment. Sounds good to us.
