The Flame Fatales 2025 speedrunning occasion contains Blue Prince, Hades 2 and Clair Obscur runs

Superior Video games Finished Fast and Summer time Video games Finished Fast aren’t the one speedrunning marathons on the town. There are others dotted all year long, corresponding to Frost Fatales and Flame Fatales. These all-women and femmes occasions are additionally operated by the Video games Finished Fast group. The schedule for this 12 months’s Flame Fatales has simply dropped, and there are many fascinating runs on deck.

For one factor, you’ll watch an Any% run (i.e. beating the sport with any share) of Hole Knight. What’s extra, SawaYoshi will do that one-handed. The runner is predicted to drag this off in round 45 minutes — it usually takes around 27 hours to beat that sport.

Some newer titles are within the combine as effectively, corresponding to Blue Prince. It may appear odd {that a} puzzle sport with a heavy randomization factor is on the schedule. ProfessorBurtch will likely be enterprise what’s generally known as a “B Quest Bingo” run. The thought right here is to get to the Antechamber while using a bingo board. Here is an instance of such a run (it accommodates spoilers, in fact):

In all, there will likely be greater than 50 speedruns throughout this version of Flame Fatales, which runs from September 7 – 14. This 12 months’s version is being held in assist of Malala Fund, which is a non-profit that helps ladies all over the world to have secure, safe and high quality training.
