Riot Games has revealed more info about its upcoming 2D fighting game Project L via a new developer diary.

In this new entry, Riot Games producer Tom Cannon introduces the duo play system. Basically, the game will have two players teaming up as a tag team to fight two other players. Don’t worry, you can still play as a solo player controlling two characters ala Marvel vs Capcom.

“From the start of this project, we felt that if we’re going to make a fighting game, we needed to bring something new to the genre. We’re investing in some big ideas that we hope will unlock new kinds of fun for fighting game fans.

I’m happy to introduce one of those big bets for you today, which some of you have already suspected. Project L isn’t just a tag-based fighting game, it’s a two-versus-two team based fighting game. This means that teams of two players can face off together in the same match with each player piloting a single champion. So we’re building a game where you can play with your friends as well as against them.”

Director Shaun Rivera explains the system further:

“Duo play works a bit like tag team wrestling. One player controls the champ on stage and the other waits off-screen for their teammate to find the right moment to tag them in. In our last update, we showcased some of our tag mechanics, all of which were designed from the ground up to encourage teamwork sharing in victories, defeats, performing combos together or saving your partner in a clutch moment are just some of the new ways you can experience the game as a duo.

Project L will support one-versus-one, two-versus-two, and even two-versus-one matchups. So don’t worry solo players, you can still play as a solo tag team fighter and control both champs at once. Fight your own battles or bring a friend. The choice is yours.”

The game also has a new system called Fuse. This allows you to pick between powerful synergies that changes up your duos play style. Think of them like Capcom vs SNK’s Groove system but for a two-player team system.

“I want to talk about one fuse called 2x Assist. This allows your team to throw out two assists back to back instead of just one with each champion having two assists, and some of them being chargeable there is a lot to discover, but you can always change your fuse for the next match to find out what feels right.”

If you happen to be at EVO 2023, you can play a demo of Project L at the show floor. Check out the Project L dev diary below:
