Riot Games is making big moves in the fighting game community with Project L, and now they’re bringing the action to the global stage with a confirmed playable demo set to feature at Evo Japan 2024 in April.
At the Riot Games ONE event in Yokohama, Kyohei “MarlinPie” Lehr, an FGC veteran from the Guilty Gear and Marvel vs. Capcom community who is now working as a game designer on Project L, shared some insights into the game’s basic concepts and expressed the team’s excitement to hear from fighting game loyalists and newer players as they continue building Project L into something that can break down barriers.

To achieve this goal, the Project L team is bringing a playable demo of the game to Evo Japan 2024, which will run from April 27 to 29 in Tokyo. MarlinPie expressed the team’s desire for Japanese fighting game fans, as well as Riot Games fans who have yet to experience fighting games, to discover the fun for themselves. “Our goal is to build the game with you, and for you, with communities around the world,” he said.
The last time Project L was publicly playable was at Evo 2023 back in August, where hundreds of players got to try out the game and talk directly to the developers about what they liked and didn’t like. Riot has also been actively working with professional players from the FGC and other games behind closed doors to get feedback too.
The developers have been quietly working on the game without sharing too much new information since announcing Yasuo as a playable character for the Evo 2023 build of the game. This update didn’t share any new details about Project L, but between now and April we should get some form of update—and potentially see a new Champion added to the roster ahead of this Evo Japan demo. There is also no information on a potential global online beta that players have been fiending after, which isn’t a surprise based on how far out the game seems to be from launch.
