Runner “Waifu_” will be taking onLeft 4 Dead 2’s new The Last Stand mini-campaignsolo with just 15 minutes to beat it, and runner “Muty” is going for a 32 minuteHalf-Lifewin. Then there’s Celeste. I always have time for Celeste speedruns. Partially because they’re rarely longer than 20 minutes, but mostly because watching them makes me believe I could be better at the game than I am.

Honourable mentions includeSekiro: Shadows Die Twicein 25 mins (how?), Diablo 3 co-op in 1:35:00, Warcraft 3 in 1:25:00, as well asDishonored 2, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 andDragon Age: Origins- but so many more good’uns are on the cards. Check out the full game list for yourself onthe AGDQ website.

Similarly tothis year’s Summer Games Done Quick, AGDQ 2021 will be a completely digital event to avoid any risks from the ongoing pandemic. It takes place between the 3rd and the 10th of January next year.
