This 'world-record' Metal Gear Rising speedrun was just too good to be true.

A world-record speedrun achieved during last week's Summer Games Done Quick charity event was stricken from the record after the runner admitted it was faked. The runner in question is Mekarazium, who ran both Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and its DLC, Blade Wolf, during the marathon.

While Summer Games Done Quick returned as an in-person event in Minneapolis this year, Mekarazium was able to pull off their deception because their Metal Gear Revengeance block was one of the segments performed remotely from a home PC.to event organizers shared by PCGamesN, Mekarazium said they decided to fake the run because the main Metal Gear Revengeance attempt had gone so well that they wanted something grand to"top it off.

In a statement to PCGamesN, GDQ confirmed that Mekarazium has been banned, and said it believes Mekarazium admitted to the incident believing that GDQ wouldn't choose to make it public.
