With this year’s Awesome Games Done Quick and its Elden Ring sax attacks officially over, preparations are well underway for Games Done Quick’s next charity speedrunning event – and organisers have now revealed the full schedule for Frost Fatales 2025, beginning this March.
Frost Fatales, if you’re unfamiliar, is the annual winter version of Games Done Quick’s all-women and femmes speedrunning event (Flame Fatales is its summer equivalent), this year’s week-long outing runs from 9th-16th March.
More specifically, things kick off at 5pm BST on Sunday 9th March with a Cuphead Any% No Major Glitches speedrun by Vicky_spleen. More than sixty speedruns will follow over the next seven days, culminating in a one-handed Celeste Any% speedrun by SawaYoshi at 3.23am on Sunday 16th March. And between all that, there’s a tantalisingly varied selection of other games to look forward to, ranging from big ol’ blockbusters to indie favourites and oddities.
This year’s newly revealed full schedule includes the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Cult of the Lamb, DuckTales: Remastered, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, Clock Tower 3, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, Hylics, and more – as well as a three-way “girl squad” Final Fantasy X-2 race using all female characters.
Frost Fatales 2025 is once raising money for the National Women’s Law Center, a US non-profit that fights for women’s and LGBTQ rights through initiatives that change laws, policy, and culture. And if all that’s left you suitably intrigued, you can watch the event live on Twitch.
