League of Legends fighting game Project L adds Yasuo to its roster

Riot Games, developer of League Of Legends and Valorant, have just revealed Yasuo, The Unforgivenis coming to Project L. The swordsman is joining the revealed roster of Riot’s fighting game project, and is playable this weekend at Evo 2023.

Ever since he showed up in League Of Legends, Yasuo has been one of the scariest foes to face in the mid-lane due to his incredible potential to outplay and outdamage anyone. Naturally, the developers state that Project L’s Yasuo is a multifaceted champion who has an answer for everything.

Interestingly, however, though it shows up as part of a move, Yasuo doesn’t use his other signature move, the tornado. This leads me to believe he won’t have it as the traditional long-ranged Hadouken-style attack that one’d probably expect.

The trailer also shows other champions in the game. There’s a bit of Darius, a massive Noxian brute who, just like in LoL, will benefit from consecutively hitting enemies to build up extra damage from his wound meter. There’s also a teaser for Ekko, an unpredictable trickster who’ll use his chrono-abilities to repeat his successful combos. To finish it off, the trailer shows Ahri, a quick and nimble sorcerer who possesses both speed and long-ranged abilities. Riot also confirms that Illaoi and the fan-favorite star of Arcane, Jinx, will be joining the roster, but we’re yet to see them in action.

The trailer also hints at the awesome combos we’ll be able to achieve when pairing these characters together. That’s awesome, but better yet is how Project L will allow us to get
