Speedrunning marathon was a great success
TheFleet Fatales extravaganzahas finally wrapped. As the curtain falls on a week of daily game-busting escapades, the Games Done Quick team announced that an amazing total of $81,101 USD was accrued over the course of the seven-day, all-women’s speedrunning event.
Fleet Fatales, which made its debuted in 2019, is an event which has grown out of the Frame Fatales community, supporting women speedrunners from across the globe. Over the past seven days, the socially-distanced marathon saw players smashing through great titles includingHades, Resident Evil 2, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, andCadence of Hyrule,alongside entries in legendary franchises such asTomb Raider, Mega Man,andSonic the Hedgehog.
All of the proceeds raised will be donated directly toThe Malala Fund,a non-profit organization that fights to ensure women and girls across the globe are afforded access to safe, free, and high-quality education, regardless of status, background, nationality or economy.
