Does anyone have any official information for how many hours of gameplay infinite has? I've heard 6 and 12-15. Looking for a link to an official number before I purchase it.

How many hours of gameplay?
What mode would you play on, and would you be exploring the world or running straight through to get to the next combat section?
I agree that you must answer these questions first before receiving an answer to your own.
For example, I played the game on Hard and I explored as deeply as I could (and I still missed a couple things along the way) and my final play time was ~15 hours.
Just shy of 14 hours on normal for me, missing about 15/20 voxophones and ignoring the side quests.
It's also the first game I played through twice in like forever, and I liked it even more the second time.
It took me ~13 Hours on hard, exploring the beginning and mainlining the the last third of the game. On normal if you plow through it missing everything i can see a 6 hour time, but you aren't a crazy person....are you?
My first playthrough was 25 hours. Playing on hard, the combat wasn't much of a challenge but I couldn't stop looking at stuff and listening to stuff. I'm on my second playthrough right now and so far I've spent 8 hours collecting 2,000 screenshots from the first two Acts.
So... you could totally play it on easy and put blinders on and blast through it in 6 to 8 hours, I'd imagine, but why would you want to do that?
I beat it in 10. It mostly depends on how you play the game. If you put it on Medium and rush through to the end without exploring the environment, listening to the voxophones, or just looking around you, then it probably will be a six-hour thing. If you look in every nook and cranny and look at your surroundings and do it on Hard, then it could easily be a fifteen hour game.
You would be doing yourself a terrible disservice by learning more toward the former than the latter. Trust me, you want to look around and explore and listen to things, though I wouldn't really recommend doing it on Hard. The combat is pretty fun but I found that I enjoyed it more when I switched to Medium about three quarters of they way through.
my play through on hard was 20 hours. i spent a lot of time hanging out in the different areas and collecting things and enjoying the scenery. i also played with a controller so i was able to walk through a lot of places and get a cinematic experience. my friend slammed through it on normal mode and beat it in 10.
I played on easy and if still took me about 13 hours to get through. I did. Shit tonne of exploring.
My playthrough on Hard came in at 20 hours after really taking my time to marvel at pretty much every facet of the world. But I could definitely halve that time on my next run.
I think the unofficial count is about 12ish. As for the official count you ought to write Ken Levine.
