Human Head developer Chris Reinhart revealed that their upcoming shooter, Prey 2, would take at least 15 hours to play through, on average.
The game, which is being published by Bethesda, will not contain any multiplayer mode, with the development focus being entirely on its single player campaign. The campaign will be designed as an open world for the player to explore and complete sidequests.
"It's an interesting challenge," he said of the game's development. "It makes us change some of the other things we do. The single player game has to be larger. There's more player choice. There's more to do."
"We're targeting, for the average player, at least around 15 hours to play through. But because there are so many open world activities you can do when you explore and find different things, it's hard to put an upper cap on it."
"I guess if someone were to haul ass, they might be able to get through it under that," he admitted. "But I could haul ass through many open world games and get through them in a matter of hours."
Reinhart says that focusing on the single player campaign was something more developers ought to do.
"I love playing multiplayer. My big thing with that, if you're not going to be able to beat or exceed Call of Duty, don't do that kind of multiplayer, to be perfectly honest. If you're going to do multiplayer, do something else that fits with your style of game, and something that's going to be really fun, that's going to get people to play together in this game."
