New Project L dev update has us pumped over tag system overview, core gameplay details, and Illaoi

The wait is over. Project L has just received its second and final update for 2022, featuring some in-engine Illaoi gameplay, a core gameplay breakdown, as well as an overview of the tag system that’ll play a major part in Riot’s free to play fighter.

This update comes with lead designer Tom Cannon providing much needed info as we’ve come to expect, as well as Shaun “unconkable” Rivera. Rivera joined the team earlier this year, having transitioned from the Legends of Runeterra team. He’s also a big name in the USA fighting game scene, notably being an excellent Tekken player back in his day.

You can watch the full Twitter update video above, but if you’re looking for a breakdown of what’s been shown we’ve got you covered. First off is Illaoi, who we got a glimpse at back with the game’s free-to-play announcement earlier this year. Since then, the bruiser has been added in-engine, giving us a broad overview of their hard-hitting playstyle.
