League of Legends fighting game will be free to play and include champion Illaoi
Riot promises ꧑to be "respectful of both your time and wallet"
Project L, Riot Games' upcoming 2D fighting game ba🌳sed on League of Legends, will be ꦦfree to play, the studio has confirmed.
In a dev update shared to YouTube on Monday, senior director Tom Cannon confirmed that Project L will be free to play, acknowledging tꦕhat the news probably won't surprise longtime fans of the studio.
"One of our goals is toꦑ remove as many barriers as possible from you enjoying Pr꧅oject L," said Cannon. "We want you to be able to play no matter where you live, what your skill level is, or how much money you have to spend on a game."
Of course, inౠ 2022 it's pretty much expected that the devs behind a new free-to-play game touch on monetization, although Cannon only assured players that Riot will be "respectful of both your time and your wallet."
The dev team behind Proje🌺ct L also released a on the game that introduces its newest champion, the Kraken Priestess Illaoi. The game's narrative director, Scott "Jaredan" Hawkes, describes Illaoi's Project L incarnation as "a powerful and charismatic spiritual leader who inspires others to be their own unstoppable force" and someone who "turns h✃eads and dominates a room with her physical presence and confident, purposeful swagger."
Game designer Carolin💖e "Riot Shyvana" Montano explained that Illaoi will have tank-like stats with slower movements, heavier hits, 🎃and a "huge" hurtbox.
"Illaoi is a strong and muscular woman who attacks with a giant totem, so it makes sense she would hit with her ow💛n physical strength, as opposed to hiding behind the power of 🐈her god or magical abilities.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a co⛦rporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for 𒀰managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
