Riot Games has released the latest video and a special site for " Project L," a fighting game that shares the same worldview as LoL (League of Legends). The video explains how to play as a duo in a 2 vs. 2 match, and announces that a playable demo will be shown at the EVO.
Project L is based on 2 vs. 2 team play
On Thursday, July 27, 2023 (Japan time), the latest information on "Project L," which is being developed with the idea of "bringing a new wind to the fighting game," was released.
In December 2022, a video explaining the tag team battle system that will be the core of "Project L" was released, but the new announcement revealed that each player will be able to control only one character (champion). In other words, "Project L" matches will be based on a two player versus two player team battle.
However, it is not necessary to form a team, and "1 vs. 1" and "1 vs. 2" are also supported, allowing a single player to control two characters. In either case, the game is designed to provide a smooth and rewarding gaming experience.
Fuse," a unique system that selects the cooperative play method
The "fuse" can be selected on the character selection screen before the match. The "2X ASSIST" and "DOUBLE DOWN" can be seen in the video.
The "2X ASSIST" allows the player to use two assists in a row. DOUBLE DOWN" is described as "being able to combine Ultimate", but the details are unknown.
Along with the explanatory video, a video of a duo game played by the development staff was also shown. The video shows that each round lasts 120 seconds, tag teams swapping, and the flashy performance of the Ultimate.
Playable demo will be exhibited at EVO in Las M. Bisons, U.S.A.
A demo of "Project L" will be on display on the exhibition floor at EVO, the world's largest fighting game tournament to be held from August 4 (Friday) to 6 (Sunday), 2023 (local time). No registration is required to play, and four characters will be available for use. Three of the characters have been announced on the "Project L" special site, and the remaining one is still unknown. The other characters are unknown. The characters already announced include "Jinx" and "Ilaoi," but we will wait for further information.
