Summer Games Done Quick will be running from June 30 to July 6, and every day will feature several speedruns. A classic that many Xbox fans will enjoy is a four-player, co-op, legendary difficulty speedrun of Halo 3. Normally, speedruns require absolute skill and precison from just one person, so the co-op nature of this run will make it a fascinating one to watch.
For the masochists out there, a hitless any% run of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice will be streamed on the official Games Done Quick Twitch channel. Sekiro is widely considered to be the hardest FromSoftware game, so this run should be a nail-biter.
For Soulslike fans, there’s also the newly released Another Crab’s Treasure. This one will be an any% race, so you’ll get to watch two speedrunners compete for the fastest time against each other.
For the retro fans, there will be an all gold bolts run of Ratchet & Clank and an all bosses run of Silent Hill. For the really retro fans, you can enjoy an any% speedrun of Ecco: The Tides of Time on the SEGA Genesis.
This year, Summer Games Done Quick is raising money for Doctors Without Borders, a nonprofit organisation that offers medical assistance to people “based solely on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender, or political affiliation.”
You can see the full schedule for Summer Games Done Quick on its official website.
In other news, Geoff Keighley has tempered expectations ahead of Summer Game Fest, telling fans not to expect many new game announcements.
