A year ago, the FGC got their first look at the League of Legends-inspired fighting game Project L.
The brief teaser put on display was enticing - it showed off a traditional 2D fighter that retrofitted a few of LoL’s most recognizable Champions into dueling warriors. Cut to 2021 - a more in-depth trailer came out of nowhere and elicited plenty of excitement after hearing everything the game’s passionate developers had to say about it. Now we know Project L is a team-based fighter that will feature assists and give its roster of Champions character archetypes in order to set them apart. The game’s art style looks stunning, the combat mechanics on display have us chomping at the bit to try them for ourselves, and the mere mention of Rollback Netcode has us extremely pleased.
Since fighting games live and die by their roster, Project L has done a great job so far by featuring some fan-favorite Champions. Here are the ones we’ve spotted from the game’s main two pieces of gameplay footage:
- Ahri
- Darius
- Katarina
- Ekko
- Jinx
That selection of playable characters is a strong start to a fighting game that we just know is going to be jam-packed with even more battle-ready Champions. After surveying the entire LoL roster, we came away with a list of additional Champions that we’re dying to see make it onto the Project L playable roster.
