The unnamed 2D assist-based fighter is inspired by League of Legends and features a cast of colorful characters from the game. But what else is worth knowing about Project L? Core gameplay and mechanics Project L is a traditional 2D fighter with a twist. Reminiscent of games like Street Fighter, Tekken, and Guilty Gear, the game encompasses many of the fundamentals of the genre. But what sets it apart is its tag-team system. Described as an \u201cassist-based\u201d fighter, players will be able to build and pilot a team of two different characters. This rewards \u201cstrategic team-building\u201d and encourages on-the-fly decision-making. The goal, according to Riot, is to build a game that delivers a \u201cfast-paced, dynamic combat fantasy\u201d while leaving room for players to be creative and express themselves through gameplay.\u00a0 Riot is leaning towards an \u201ceasy to learn, hard to master\u201d mentality with Project L, as it has done with many of its games in the past. This will make it easier to jump into the game and learn a new character\u2019s basic kit. But players will be rewarded for putting time into the game and going deep on a character.\u00a0 The devs want to create a steadily increasing difficulty curve to \u201cunlock the fun at all skill levels.\u201d Characters Riot has revealed a handful of characters that will be available to play in Project L. In a teaser montage at the developer\u2019s 10th-anniversary event on Oct. 16, 2019, and in an update post on Nov. 2021, fans got a glimpse of the following champions: AhriDariusEkkoJinxKatarina For character design, Riot\u2019s goal is to deliver on the iconic moves that League of Legends champions are known for but adapt them to work in a fighting game.\u00a0 Ekko, for example, manipulates time, rewinds his own mistakes, and stabs and slashes his opponents with his Chronobreak. And Jinx makes use of her arsenal of weapons, fires off explosive rockets with her Fishbones, and wreaks havoc with her ricocheting minigun.\u00a0 Netcode and rollback Riot is \u201cinvesting big\u201d in Project L\u2019s netcode. The devs have designed the game\u2019s entire networking stack to deliver the \u201csame, highly responsive gameplay that you\u2019d get playing offline.\u201d An ongoing issue in the fighting game community, especially with events heading online, rollback will help to create consistency across a wide range of pings. Riot has developed a new networking model that will \u201cenhance\u201d the benefits of rollback with technology developed for other games like League of Legends and VALORANT. This technology will route network traffic through something called RiotDirect, which will help to minimize latency for players. The devs are also looking to actively manage a players\u2019 connection to their opponent to ensure a \u201cconsistent, fair play experience.\u201d Release date Project L hasn\u2019t got a name, let alone an official release date. Riot has \u201calmost locked in on\u201d the game\u2019s core gameplay, controls, and art direction, but there\u2019s still a way to go. The devs need to build out a full roster of champions, design stages, add menus and UI, create ranking systems, and more before they can even consider launching the game. \u201cLast time we talked we said we\u2019d be going dark, but this time around we\u2019re going to commit to at least two updates next year,\u201d Riot said on Nov. 21, 2021. \u201cYou\u2019ll hear from us again sometime early in the second half of 2022.\u201d","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/22090436\/darius-project-l.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493025"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1720"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493025"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":646504,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493025\/revisions\/646504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=493025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The unnamed 2D assist-based fighter is inspired by League of Legends and features a cast of colorful characters from the game. But what else is worth knowing about Project L? Core gameplay and mechanics Project L is a traditional 2D fighter with a twist. Reminiscent of games like Street Fighter, Tekken, and Guilty Gear, the game encompasses many of the fundamentals of the genre. But what sets it apart is its tag-team system. Described as an \u201cassist-based\u201d fighter, players will be able to build and pilot a team of two different characters. This rewards \u201cstrategic team-building\u201d and encourages on-the-fly decision-making. The goal, according to Riot, is to build a game that delivers a \u201cfast-paced, dynamic combat fantasy\u201d while leaving room for players to be creative and express themselves through gameplay.\u00a0 Riot is leaning towards an \u201ceasy to learn, hard to master\u201d mentality with Project L, as it has done with many of its games in the past. This will make it easier to jump into the game and learn a new character\u2019s basic kit. But players will be rewarded for putting time into the game and going deep on a character.\u00a0 The devs want to create a steadily increasing difficulty curve to \u201cunlock the fun at all skill levels.\u201d Characters Riot has revealed a handful of characters that will be available to play in Project L. In a teaser montage at the developer\u2019s 10th-anniversary event on Oct. 16, 2019, and in an update post on Nov. 2021, fans got a glimpse of the following champions: AhriDariusEkkoJinxKatarina For character design, Riot\u2019s goal is to deliver on the iconic moves that League of Legends champions are known for but adapt them to work in a fighting game.\u00a0 Ekko, for example, manipulates time, rewinds his own mistakes, and stabs and slashes his opponents with his Chronobreak. And Jinx makes use of her arsenal of weapons, fires off explosive rockets with her Fishbones, and wreaks havoc with her ricocheting minigun.\u00a0 Netcode and rollback Riot is \u201cinvesting big\u201d in Project L\u2019s netcode. The devs have designed the game\u2019s entire networking stack to deliver the \u201csame, highly responsive gameplay that you\u2019d get playing offline.\u201d An ongoing issue in the fighting game community, especially with events heading online, rollback will help to create consistency across a wide range of pings. Riot has developed a new networking model that will \u201cenhance\u201d the benefits of rollback with technology developed for other games like League of Legends and VALORANT. This technology will route network traffic through something called RiotDirect, which will help to minimize latency for players. The devs are also looking to actively manage a players\u2019 connection to their opponent to ensure a \u201cconsistent, fair play experience.\u201d Release date Project L hasn\u2019t got a name, let alone an official release date. Riot has \u201calmost locked in on\u201d the game\u2019s core gameplay, controls, and art direction, but there\u2019s still a way to go. The devs need to build out a full roster of champions, design stages, add menus and UI, create ranking systems, and more before they can even consider launching the game. \u201cLast time we talked we said we\u2019d be going dark, but this time around we\u2019re going to commit to at least two updates next year,\u201d Riot said on Nov. 21, 2021. \u201cYou\u2019ll hear from us again sometime early in the second half of 2022.\u201d","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/22090436\/darius-project-l.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493025"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1720"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493025"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":646504,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493025\/revisions\/646504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=493025"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=493025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
