According to a Wccftech interview with Adam Olsson and Lydia Cockerham, the art director and the narrative designer, beating Dead Island 2 should take approximately 20 hours.

If you do decide to complete all of the side missions, it may take longer than 20 hours to defeat the undead once and for all.
