Riot Games’ “Project L” Announced as 2v2 Fighting Game; Demo Available During Evo 2023

Riot Games just released a dev update for their upcoming fighting game, Project L, and it looks like they’re going for something pretty unique in the genre. Project L isn’t just a tag-based fighting game, but a 2v2 team-based fighting game, allowing you to play matches with one other player against one or two opponents.

You can watch the full dev video below:

You can also watch a full match by Project L devs here:

Project L will allow for 1v1, 2v2, and even 2v1 matches, so you can still play even if you don’t have a duo to partner with. Players can choose special buffs with the Fuse system, which grants various synergies to you and your partner which also affect your overall play style.

For those looking to get their hands on Project L right away, there’s good news—a playable demo will be available at Evo 2023 to try out on the show floor. It won’t require signups to play, either, so you won’t need a Riot account to give it a go. The demo will include four playable champions, including Ekko, Ahri, and Darius, who were shown in the showmatch. As for the fourth champion, Riot hasn’t announced it just yet, though it’s likely we’ll finally get to see Illaoi in action, given that she was the spotlight of a previous Project L dev update.

Project L doesn’t have a release date, nor do we know what platforms it’ll be on just yet. With Riot looking to enter the fighting game space through this interesting spin on the genre, it will be interesting to see player reception of the demo once Evo 2023 rolls in.
