Thank you very much for the replies, i will run it with our planners and get into contact with our speedrun community to add the sequel to the boards so that the community itself can maintain it as i cannot guarantee someone would maintain it forever on our side.

Thanks again!

So, if for example, i work for a studio, on a sequel to a game that already has a healthy speedrunning community, that is already hosted here on Speedrun.com

How would i proceed to request the addition of the Game and Category on behalf of the Studio without submitting a run?

It would be cool to drop the game + category on the day early access opens up.
