EVO provides demos of Darius, Ike, and Ahri. In this demo video, the official announcement of the character “Yasuo” is highlighted, and it is confirmed that characters such as “Jinx” and “Illaoi” are in production.

 At the level of fighting gameplay, character attacks are divided into three types: "light", "medium", and "heavy". The official also stated that players can use "with the arrow keys" to attack.

 Each character has special actions of "S1" and "S2". Players use the handle to play "Down + Down + S1" or "Down + S2" to launch the "Level One Kill" skill, and to play "Down + Down" + S1+S2" can release a big move (consume 1/2 energy respectively).

 In addition to the normal block (defense), the game also provides the ability of "precise block". Using this function will consume 1 energy. If the "precise block" is successful, the energy will be returned to the player and cause "stiff" damage to the enemy. However, if the player fails to activate the skill, the player will be punished by beating.

 The game has a "call teammate protection function": even if the teammate enters the bloodless state, it can still be used.

 Each character has two auxiliary actions. In 1P state (when playing alone), the player can freely decide the auxiliary action. In 2P state (when two people are in partnership), two people need to work together. As a support action, you can revive teammates who are out of blood.

 The official introduced four "cooperation styles": "2X Assist", which means that teammates can do two actions when they support the attack outside the field; "Fury" is a special bonus when health is low, and "Freestyle" means that players can actually attack twice in a coordinated attack (convenient for combos).

It is reported that the specific release date and login platform of “Project L” have not yet been announced. Tom Cannon and Tony Cannon, the senior director and executive director of Riot’s “Project L” project, have previously said: “Our goal is to create a game that can be deeply invested, Play super high-quality fighting games for years or even decades. It takes time to get it right, and we’re not going to rush it.”

The game will be played in the tenth-season version that will be launched later. We have also announced before that this season will be our most innovative version so far.

The event will adopt an open registration system, with a total of 512 seats waiting for enthusiastic participants. Whether you are the strongest in Latin America or the top streamer in France, you can have a place in Las Vegas and compete with other contestants from all over the world with different backgrounds.

The leaked source code also includes some experimental features. Riot Games said that while they hope that some of these game modes and other changes will eventually be available to players, most of the content is still in the prototype stage and there is no guarantee that it will eventually be released.

The riot of Games also said that its security team and outside consultants will continue to assess the attack and review the system and that the company has notified law enforcement and is actively cooperating with them in their investigation of the attack and the organization behind it.

In addition, Riot Games will release a full report in the future detailing the attacker’s techniques, and the measures Riot is taking to ensure such an incident does not happen again.
