AGDQ 2022 Online Returns January 9, Full Schedule Revealed

Awesome Games Done Quick, the annual speedrunning marathon, has revealed the full schedule of speedruns for its all-online 2022 campaign.

Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 Online kicks off January 9 and will feature over 130 games throughout the week-long event. AGDQ 2022 will also continue the online-only format the Games Done Quick Foundation has shifted to during the COVID-19 pandemic, used during last year's event and Summer Games Done Quick in August.

A few recent releases feature on the AGDQ 2022 schedule, including Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Lost Judgment, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Axiom Verge 2, Resident Evil: Village, It Takes Two, and Deathloop. Deathloop's run is particularly noteworthy, as it is listed with a "par" time--or expected time of completion--of only 25 minutes.

Other highlights on this year's schedule include a Halo 5: Guardians solo run on Legendary difficulty with a par of one hour and 37 minutes, a race between two speedrunners in Hades, and a run of the Tanker mission in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance while the runner is blindfolded.

Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 is the latest speedrunning marathon by the Games Done Quick Foundation, which has raised money for multiple charities including the Prevent Cancer Foundation, Doctors Without Borders, and the Malala Fund. Summer Games Done Quick 2021 in August raised $2.9 million for Doctors Without Borders, while the last Awesome Games Done Quick in January 2021 raised $2.7 million for Prevent Cancer.
