Riot Games has released a new developer diary and gameplay video for League of Legends-based free-to-play fighting game Project L introducing the duo play system. The company also announced that Project L will have a playable demo at EVO 2023, which will run from August 4 to 6 in at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“From the start of this project, we felt that if we’re going to make a fighting game, we needed to bring something new to the genre,” said executive producer Tom Cannon in the developer diary. “We’re investing in some big ideas that we hope will unlock new kinds of fun for fighting game fans.”
Cannon continued, “I’m happy to introduce one of those big bets for you today, which some of you have already suspected. Project L isn’t just a tag-based fighting game, it’s a two-versus-two team based fighting game. This means that teams of two players can face off together in the same match with each player piloting a single champion. So we’re building a game where you can play with your friends as well as against them.”
Here is game director Shaun Rivera with more details:
Here is a brief overview of duo play and EVO 2023 demo, via the newly launched Project L official website:
