Here’s a look at Riot’s in-progress fighting game, Project L

Long one of the worst-kept secrets in the games industry, Riot’s fighting game codenamed Project L has another in-progress look out. Set in the League of Legends world, Runeterra, the video reintroduces Project L to those who saw its past previews. This latest video has the same characters as last time: Jinx, Darius, and Ahri, but adds the time-rewinding Ekko.

Project L is called an “assist-based” fighter, meaning players make a team of two fighters, controlling one at a time while the other is brought in for assist attacks. The design strives for two things: Really strong netcode and easy-to-learn/hard-to-master controls. Designers Tom & Tony Cannon describe their hopes for Project L as one that players can jump into and learn the basic moveset of a new character quickly, but still be greatly outmatched by masters of that character.
