As a part of their 10-year anniversary celebrations for League Of Legends, builders Riot Games have introduced – and everybody act good and shocked now – that they’re growing a preventing game. It’s at the moment named Project L, and it’s set within the League Of Legends universe.
If you’re pondering “Wasn’t this announced at EVO in August?” you are correct. Though after I talked about this to a PR particular person upfront of Riot formally saying the game throughout the press occasion I attended, they have been each understandably tight-lipped and seemingly sad with me contemplating that an announcement.
Still, they haven’t given us far more to go on than EVO founder and Riot worker Tom Cannon did a few months in the past. Not even a screenshot I can embrace right here. But Riot did deign to point out me one single picture a few weeks in the past and so I’ve carried out my finest to recreate it for you, trustworthy reader by artfully hacking up a Street Fighter screenshot. Bear in thoughts I do know nothing about preventing games or League Of Legends. Or artwork. It virtually actually wasn’t these characters (if I recall accurately, the girl had distinctly fewer garments), however you get the impression:
“I’m not here to say the game’s coming out any time soon,” Cannon throughout August’s tease, “but I do feel like we’re making progress and I felt like it was only appropriate that we reset the conversation and let everybody know that what you think we’re working on, yeah, that’s actually what we’re working on.”
Alan Bridgeman, the overall supervisor for Riot Europe, equally acknowledged at this press occasion that there was “no timeline.”
Cannon beforehand based Radiant Entertainment, who have been growing a unique preventing game known as Rising Thunder earlier than they have been acquired by Riot in 2016. The game was recognized for its accessibility, together with one-button combos. No phrase but on whether or not that’s what Riot are aiming for with Project L, although they did emphasise accessibility in certainly one of their different bulletins, the League Of Legends universe collectable card game Legends Of Runeterra.
Correction: An earlier model of this story referred to the identify of the preventing game as “Lightning Rush”, however it’s not but formally titled. Its codename is Project L.
