Did everyone know that there was a League of Legends<\/a> fighting game in the works at Riot Games? It\u2019s been over two years since the game known as Project L was revealed<\/a> and there hasn\u2019t been much on it since \u2013 but now Riot has finally shown off the project\u2019s first gameplay, although it still sounds a long way off.<\/p>\n

As part of the final stage of the celebration<\/a> of Netflix series Arcane, which concluded this weekend, Project L game leads Tony and Tom Cannon headed a video re-revealing the game and showing off controls, a few of the characters, and how it will play.<\/p>\n

Project L is a one-versus-one assist fighter in the style of Marvel Vs Capcom and Dragon Ball FighterZ \u2013 where the player can call in an AI fighter to help them. The four characters shown off were Jinx, Ekko, Darius, and Ahri, and all were based on their designs in the Arcane animated series. The developers say their \u201cgoal is to deliver on the iconic moves that League champions are known for but adapted to work in a fighting game\u201d and showed off Ekko\u2019s move set to illustrate, complete with time manipulation.<\/p>\n

Regarding controls and difficulty, the devs say that they\u2019re \u201cembracing the \u2018easy to learn, hard to master\u2019 mentality\u201d so the controls will be straightforward but have a \u201csteadily increasing difficulty curve\u201d \u2013 so a more experienced player can still \u201cshowcase your high-end mastery\u201d.<\/p>\n

Riot is also proud of its netcode system for Project L. While it has rollback, the developer has created \u201ca new networking model that enhances the benefits of rollback with core technology developed by other games at Riot\u201d, with the aim of making sure that matches aren\u2019t affected even if one player has a bad connection.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that, while the team is \u201chappy with how core combat is shaping up\u201d it admits that \u201cthere\u2019s still a ton of work to do\u201d and they will take its time to make sure they \u201cget this right\u201d \u2013 so, along with the lack of an official title, Project L is likely still a long way off. Who knows, it may even release alongside the recently confirmed Arcane Season 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n
