The highly anticipated Project L by Riot Games is finally set to make its debut as a demo at the prestigious Evolution Championship (Evo) Series. First teased at the 2019 Evo event, the game will now be available as a playable demo at the 2023 Championship Series.
While earlier this heart-pumping brawler was rumored to be a 1v1, now the creators have shared that the game will feature different combat modes like 1v1, 2v2, and even 2v1 matches. In a revolutionary move in the fighting game genre, Riot Games is moving out of its comfort zone and breaking conventions by making this project more than just a “tag-based fighting game,” said executive producer Tom Cannon.
