Will probably be the same way as LoL and Valorant
I wonder if it will be included with Game Pass too
Yes it will. It's going to be awesome, I cannot wait.
Illaoi is such a fun pick.
Not surprising at all and (probably) a good decision, game will most likely be really big. Wonder when they'll talk about console versions.
Did anyone expect this game to not be F2P? The only Riot games that aren't F2P are the ones they just publish and aren't developed by them.
It's cool to see new footage but this video is kind of weird, particularly with Tom acknowledging Evo at the end. Almost feels like a consolation prize for them not being at the event.

That's LoL's monetization scheme, and that game has way more characters than this game will ever have, so I have to imagine they'll go that route. Especially now that Multiversus is showing that it's a valid monetization scheme for fighters.
I don't normally play big bodies, but Illaoi's my go to top lane pick, so there we go.
F2P is expected, but still good to be confirmed, especially after Multiversus launch success.

Project L is going to dominate the scene.
NRS titles are going to be the only ones charging full price with enough content to justify it.
I guess Japanese fighting game publishers and developers are going to struggle big time for the next couple of years.(except Smash)
Good luck competing with WB and Riot deep pockets.

Maybe it will make them move towards the modern era...But probably not.
But it will help those fighting games that are mainstream with F2P approach.
I wonder if MK might become F2P one day? Also curious how SF6 will fare against all of this. Smash will be fine probably.
Wtf, this looks sick as fuck. I didn't care much about it when it was announced by after watching Arcane, I love the League of Legends universe.
I hope more fighting games start going F2P. It's the only way I'll check them out.

I really wanna say this will be a kick in the arse to Japanese game publishers but who am I kidding. Still, I'm hopeful World Tour mode in SF6 is at least beefy enough for SP content.
Dev mentalities around this game seem good, shame everything about LoL is incredibly unappealing to me making it essentially worthless lol
I think a late 2023 full release with a soft (open beta) launch close to the end of the summer or early fall.
I hope both this game and Multiversus finally move the baseline of what fighting game fans should expect out of these games. We've kind of moved into an era of rollback being a standard after a decade. Fighting games should be much more than they are, and these two games are out to prove it.
You have 4-5 free characters and the rest you need to unlock with missions/XP, each character has 5 levels to go through in order to unlock them, or well, $$$.
You know, one thing I feel like people haven't talked about is that there is a probably a high likely chance we will get some Single-Player content. Maybe not at launch but I can see it coming down the line. AFAIK they've done pretty well with Legends of Runeterra's SP offerings and have continued to expand on them over time. I can see them doing much the same here.
pretty sure he was on the dev team for playstation all stars and battle for the grid, probably got recruited.
I don't think Riot is worried about either of those games, but I could see 2024 for sure.
People here have already decided Project L is going to be a success, but that's far from guaranteed. It's Riot, so I'm sure they know the F2P model and netcode. Everything else though? It's like every other fighting game dev is a moron and getting everything right is obvious. It's not. Characters, moves, fighting system, music, graphics, UI, all of this is important and it's damn hard to get everything right.
It's going to be a success just off the League IP and Riot knowing how to establish and maintain a competitive scene better than any devs in the industry.
It's hard to think of a bigger IP than League in the current landscape of gaming.
I don't see the likes of Bamco or Capcom releasing a F2P until one of the Japanese publisher really tries it.
This does make me wonder if F2P fighters really take off what ArcSys will do as from what I can tell making a bunch of costumes for their characters seems like a bitch with how they animate/make there characters.
