Riot Games kondigde tijdens de Evo Championship aan dat er gewerkt werd aan een vechtgame met codenaam Project L. Gisterenavond tijdens de viering van het tien jaar bestaan van league of Legends, werden de eerste alpha beelden van Project L getoond.
Hieronder zijn de eerste gameplaybeelden van Project L te zien. De game wordt gemaakt door ontwikkelaar Radiant Entertainment. De game lijkt geïnspireerd te zijn door de vechtgames van Arc System Works en Street Fighter.
Radiant Entertainment president en CEO Tom Cannon heeft het volgende te zeggen over Project L:
About a month ago at EVO we were able to share news about Project L with fighting game fans around the world live and in person. That was a crazy, surreal experience, because we’ve been working on this for a little while, and we’ve always had to be so secretive. What I think League of Legends players expect from this game is different, but in some ways harmonious from what I think fighting game players expect from this game.
Everyone wants a great game, but what we’ve been seeing is that people are really excited to see Runterran champions in a new light, even from a new camera angle. Making fighting games is really really tough. These are intricate games to make, and while we’re a good ways towards making something that we think is really cool, we still have a long way to go. We’re going to go dark for a while after this, so please don’t expect anything soon, but know that we’re here working hard for you.
