	Project L New Gameplay of Illaoi, Core Systems Demonstrated in Latest Dev Diary Video

  

Tom Cannon, executive producer for Riot Games' upcoming 2.5D fighter, Project L, alongside game director Shaun Rivera, appears in a new dev diary video which provides the latest in-depth look into Project L's core gameplay and tag-team system mechanics. Once again, Project L is an upcoming free-to-play tag team 2D fighting game by Riot Games set in the League of Legends universe of Runeterra. The new video also showcases the first gameplay of a new character who was first revealed back in August, Illaoi.     The December 2022 dev diary video (below) provides the most comprehensive look so far at Project L's overall gameplay mechanics, movement options, and tag system. Game director Shaun Rivera mentions that originally, Project L was being developed as a 1-vs-1 fighting game, but around two years ago they decided to pivot to a 2-vs-2 tag-team fighter.     NEW GAMEPLAY DETAILS:  Each character or "champion" will have access to two Assist Actions. The Assist button can also be held down which makes the character perform a "charged" Assist Action. The "Handshake Tag" will let you immediately swap between your Point and Assist champions as long as both are on the screen. This can be combined with the Assist attack to create mix-ups, pressure, or to extend combos.   The "Dynamic Save" functions as a combo breaker mechanic and is available at the start of each match. This enables the Assist champion to appear onscreen in an attempt to save the Point champion. When successful, the opponent will be knocked backwards. The Dynamic Save is a powerful action but can also be countered and punished if the opponent uses it predictably. Director Shaun Rivera also noted that the gameplay system terms could change in the future.   Tom Cannon also mentioned that the early version of Illaoi that appears in the video is only about 30% done, but is now in a playable state for testing and further development. [UPDATE] Added several screenshots from the dev diary video, below.     Stay tuned on Fighters Generation for more Project L news and updates. ~TFG Webmaster, Frank Joseph | @Fighters_Gen
