The game’s speedrunning community is booming at the moment, with more runs being posted every day. While Distortion2’s time is impressive, it may not be the fastest any-percent speedrun of Elden Ringfor long. The site, which catalogs runs for hundreds of games, lists a 26:26 time from spiceeTV as the fastest.

At the time of writing, it seems that Distortion2’s run either hasn’t been submitted to or is still being verified.

In a post on Twitter, Distortion2, a speedrunner who’s completed numerous FromSoftware games faster than it takes for most people to quit them, announced that he had beaten Elden Ring in just 18:58, cementing him at the top of the game’s any-percent run leaderboard. Distortion2 🕐 Elden Ring March 28, 2022 Thank you everyone who was there and supported me during this insane stream <3 /I32a4BzA9q WORLDS FIRST Any% Elden Ring in under 20 minutes!! Changed a flight and did a 15h stream for this, almost gave up hope, but in the end I prevailed. However, one runner has claimed the new world record for beating Elden Ring the fastest, completing FromSoftware’s latest game in under 20 minutes.

While the rest of us are 60 or 70 hours into Elden Ring (I personally hate and can’t get past the Godskin Duo), speedrunners have slowly whittled down the game’s playtime.
