You’ll catch a glimpse of how we’re approaching controls with an easy-to-learn but hard-to-master mentality. In this preview, you’ll see we’ve updated the game’s art style and included a breakdown of a champion’s kit. We’re excited to share that Project L will be a tag-team style fighting game, where you’ll build and pilot a team of two different champions.

But Project L is in R&D: the phase of game development where we’re exploring options and finding the fun. Our initial reveal back in 2019 showed a potential direction that we could take the game.
