Quote from: Rod BreslauBreaking: EVO founder and Riot employee Tom Cannon has confirmed the worst kept secret in gaming - Riot is officially working on a fighting game, the first game outside of League of Legends for Riot
Quote from: Rod Breslau"Fighting games deserve to be enjoyed by way more people. As big as things are, we think they have the potential to get bigger."
Tom and Tony Cannon, along with Seth Killian, have been working at Riot for the last three years, and soon we will get to see dreams come true
I know it seems early for that to have a topic, we don't even know the name of the game yet, but I'm legitimately surprised nobody is talking about this, and its been worked on for quite a while, which means that if it was officially announced, we may see news about this soon.
Its also worth noting that they also filed trademarks for something called "Legends of Runeterra", which could be the name of the fighting game. Runeterra is the name of the world in which League of Legends takes place, which means that both games could be related. (EDIT: Turns out the fighting game IS based on League of Legends, but its name is NOT Legends of Runeterra) Riot has been teasing a new game for a while now, and while they released a new mode for LoL called Teamfight Tactics, which plays very differently, they already confirmed this wasn't the new thing they were working on.
EDIT: Name reveal trailer
During League of Legends' 10th Anniversary stream this tuesday, Riot Games finally revealed many games its been working on, including the first look on their fighting game, codenamed "Project L", the first one shown in this video:
This other picture also shows two other fighters:

Its all we have for now.
A shooters and a fighting game from Riot based on League of Legends?
The small footage of the shooters looks like a Chinese Fortnite ripoff (haha I know it's still in development).
The fighting game screenshot doesn't look too shabby as well!
The animations look pretty good from what we could see so far.
Interested to see how this turns out.
Well, this post has my attention to say the least. Although, I do feel that this game is going to receive a lot of negative backlash because only 4 of the like... what... 50+ characters are available. I mean sure, its obviously a very early project, but giving people the impression that "oh hey, a fighting game version of League, I hope my favorite character is in it" and then not seeing them, turns a lot of people sour. Its quite unfortunate, but it happens.
I believe people are used to seasons and updates which releases new characters by now to know the most fan faves will be there.

145 characters, and they just revealed a trailer for another one (in the same stream they revealed those games, actually). So yeah, people should be aware that only less than a third of the original game's roster will make it into the fighting game.

you are being too optimistic, for all we know they'll make it a shitty game with over a hundred characters witha bunch of practical clones, like some odl dragon ball games.

lol, even if they wanted it, League's characters are too distinct for that.
It's been quite a while, but there are some important news, people are receiving invitations to playtest this game: https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2021/mar/27/riot-project-league-test/
This happened before with Valorant and Legends of Runeterra, and it usually is followed by a closed or open beta, so we could have bigger news coming too (as well as leaks).
https://dotesports.com/news/playtest-riot-fighting-game-project-l-april-23
Playtests will happen from April 23 to 25.
It was confirmed by Tom "Inkblot" Cannon in a Reddit comment that we're gonna get news about the game in late November.
https://old.reddit.com/r/Project_L/comments/pyquep/when_would_the_dev_update_be_potentially/hf05knv/
my expectation about this game is 0 because I´ve never played any Moba game, but I've been looking forward since was announced becasue the IP is really big.
I honestly have no idea what to expect myself. I know it is being made by the same creators as a cancelled fighting game that was fairly hype, which leads people to think the gameplay will be similar, and I play a lot of League, so it will be very interesting to me.
Rising Thunder may just be an unfinished tech demo, but it is fully playable and the small hobbyist community it has even maintains a launcher for netplay. I highly suggest everyone give it a look. Even though it has no real content outside of a few characters to play around with, it looks and plays very nice. It should give you some reassurance as to the quality of Project L.
Lots of news, including a new character, comments on mechanics and how online works.
where I can find the splash art in high quality of league of legends ?
News and another character revealed.
So, a video recently popped up about a leaked roster. I generally wouldn't bump the thread over this, however, the video is from a leaker that is very credible, as he always shows leaks for League of Legends that turn out to be true, also, it seems like the source is literally a survey from Riot Games that was supposed to be secret, and people just showed it to everyone, and its not the first time they leaked stuff like that, so yeah.

Gameplay news
they improved a lot since last video the art style is looking look like DNF now its not 100% but they are on the way
Here's some news. Most important ones being: the game will support 1v1, 2v2 and 1v2 matches and more news coming soon (Evo is also soon, just saying).

It only took them forever...
but when's playable Draven?
So, Blitzcrank got "officially" revealed on the official Twitter, through an image, as a response to a leak:

The Blitzcrank reveal trailer, because it wasn't posted here yet:
And now that the Closed Beta is up, it seems Teemo revealed himself as the final character before release:

The fact this game has been in development for six years and only shown off like ten characters is insane.
Not even just shown off, that's genuinely the full launch roster.
Okay yeah no, that's even worse since we're talking about a game that's based on a franchise with hundreds upon hundreds of characters to choose from, not just that, there's also the fact this is a tag fighter with only ten characters. Which is possibly the biggest sin you could commit with a tag fighter, hell, you wanna know how pathetic this is? Vanilla Street Fighter V has more characters then 2XKO. Fucking vanilla Street Fighter V has more characters than 2XKO. Not to mention, the literal demo of Kirby Air Riders, also has more characters than 2XKO.
2XKO is even more disappointing than how Fire Emblem is having problems with it's mobile game spinoff it has.
Interesting that this game's marketing is entirely geared towards AngriestPat lol
The 2XKO Brazil Twitter account accidentally uploaded a trailer that revealed upcoming skins and an upcoming new character, I could only find a Reddit reupload of the video:

What went wrong?
Dang, wanted to see Kindred in a fighting game badly. They could have been like Mina Majinka.
Quote from: Creative Colossus on August 21, 2026, 03:54:11 AM
What went wrong?
My guess: Nothing. The shareholders just saw that the game was gonna make a million dollars per year instead of the billion dollars per year they wanted, so they pulled the plug
and we never got playable Draven out of this
complete and utter garbage
Looks like they have a surprise final character to go with Samira:
Now that's certainly a surprise for sure, but it still feels bittersweet, especially knowing that this game will never receive Katarina, Ashe, Evelynn and many other iconic characters.
Quote from: Creative Colossus on August 21, 2026, 03:54:11 AM
What went wrong?
Everything:
- Working 10 years on a game that barely has 10-15 characters
- Barely showing advances or a playable beta in all that time
- Few roster for a franchise like LOL is, even a MUGEN/IKEMEN can give you the double of chars than this official title in less time than that
- Aggressive monetization to get the chars and skins
- LOL players don't play fighting games, barely know them
- Making it a Team VS game, a niche genre even in FG (which is already a small niche)
- Riot being Riot (https://killedbyriotgames.com)
