Project L showcases Duo Play, its co-op tag mode

destructoid.com:

If you’ve thought that playing fighting games with friends gets a bit too contentious, Riot Games is working on an answer. The League of Legends company showed off more footage of its in-development fighting game Project L today with the reveal of Duo Play, a co-op option for the tag-team fighting game.

Project L is a two-on-two tag fighter, similar to games like BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. This means each side fields two characters, picked out of the League of Legends universe of Runeterra, for its matches.

While you’d normally pilot these teams solo, Project L is also offering Duos, which lets two players team up and each handle an individual fighter. It basically turns Project L into a co-op tag fighter, where you can combo off each other, throw out assists, and tag in and out.

This Duo Play is something that other tag fighters have done before, but does seem particularly well-suited to Project L. Aside from the fun tie to duo queuing in League, it could make the arena feel a bit approachable for newcomers. Alongside the breakdown video above, Riot also published a showmatch, where its developers showed off the Duo Play mode in Project L.

If this seems like it’s up your alley and you also happen to be in Las Vegas for Evo 2023, then you’re in luck. Riot will be hosting show floor demos of Project L at the big fighting game event, with four playable characters: Darius, Ahri, Ekko, and one to-be-revealed character.

That’s not the only Project L content that hit today, either. A bunch of fighting game players and community members apparently got a hands-on session with Project L recently, and were able to talk a bit about it today.

From the sounds of it, there are still some restrictions around how much they can say about
