Title: The Flame Fatales 2025 speedrunning event includes Blue Prince, Hades 2 and Clair Obscur runs Post by: HCK on July 04, 2025, 04:05:02 pm The Flame Fatales 2025 speedrunning event includes Blue Prince, Hades 2 and Clair Obscur runs
<p>Awesome Games Done Quick and Summer Games Done Quick aren't the only speedrunning marathons in town. There are others dotted throughout the year, such as <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/how-to-watch-games-done-quicks-frost-fatales-speedrunning-event-from-march-9-220017343.html">Frost Fatales[/url] and Flame Fatales. Those all-women and femmes events are also operated by the Games Done Quick organization. The <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule/58">schedule[/url] for this year's Flame Fatales has just dropped, and there are lots of fascinating runs on deck.</p> <p>For one thing, you'll be able to watch an Any% run (i.e. beating the game with any percentage) of Hollow Knight. What's more, SawaYoshi will do this one-handed. The runner is expected to pull this off in around 45 minutes — it typically takes <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://howlongtobeat.com/game/26286">around 27 hours[/url] to beat that game.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Some newer titles are in the mix as well, such as <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/every-puzzle-game-is-a-couch-co-op-game-actually-163024595.html">Blue Prince[/url]. It might seem odd that a puzzle game with a heavy randomization element is on the schedule. ProfessorBurtch will be undertaking what's known as a "B Quest Bingo" run. The idea here is to get to the Antechamber <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:5;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://radringtail.github.io/bquest/">while using a bingo board[/url]. Here's an example of such a run (it contains spoilers, of course): </p> <div id="e01ff887ffc141e2a09fd9dd630db315"><div style="left:0;width:100%;height:0;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ogaI9QsXfzI?rel=0" style="top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;border:0;" allowfullscreen scrolling="no" data-embed-domain="www.youtube.com"></iframe></div></div> <p>Elsewhere, we have Any% runs of the wonderful <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/neva-review-a-platformer-thats-so-perfect-it-made-me-cry-160037311.html">Neva[/url], The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and New Super Mario Bros. in the mix, along with speedrunning staples like Celeste and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The bonus runs include the first act of <a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/clair-obscur-expedition-33-review-an-original-hit-rpg-090012488.html">Clair Obscur: Expedition 33[/url] and all regions of <a data-i13n="cpos:8;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/hades-ii-adds-more-combat-options-in-its-third-major-early-access-update-225206452.html">Hades II[/url]. I'm very intrigued by the Stardew Valley finale, which is a "Marriage% Co-Op Haley/Penny (Lesbian%)" run.</p> <p>In all, there will be more than 50 speedruns during this edition of Flame Fatales, which runs from September 7 - 14. This year's edition is being held in support of <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:9;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://malala.org/">Malala Fund[/url], which is a non-profit that helps girls around the world to have safe, secure and quality education. The event will be livestreamed on the <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:10;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick">GDQ Twitch channel[/url].</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/the-flame-fatales-2025-speedrunning-event-includes-blue-prince-hades-2-and-clair-obscur-runs-171451081.html?src=rss Source: The Flame Fatales 2025 speedrunning event includes Blue Prince, Hades 2 and Clair Obscur runs (https://www.engadget.com/gaming/the-flame-fatales-2025-speedrunning-event-includes-blue-prince-hades-2-and-clair-obscur-runs-171451081.html?src=rss) |
