Far Cry 4 is on its way to retail shelves in just a few weeks. If mowing down bad guys with machine guys while exploring a luscious open world sounds like the perfect way to spend the holidays, then you’re most certainly in luck.

Since certain gamers want to know approximately how much time they’ll have to devote to the Far Cry 4 experience, creative director Alex Hutchinson revealed the length of the sequel’s campaign. According to the folks at Attack of the Fanboy, players will certainly have a lot to do during their trek through the game. In short: It’s pretty big.

Hutchinson coughed up the info when an inquisitive fan began picking his brain via Twitter. Instead of keeping the details squirreled away in a box under his bed, the Far Cry 4 creative director decided to acknowledge the gamer’s request.

Gamepur explains that how much time you spend completing the numerous Far Cry 4 side quests ultimately determines the length of the experience.
