Project L, the upcoming League of Legends "assist-based fighter," has received a brand-new gameplay deep dive that shows much more of the upcoming game set in Runeterra.

Project L was originally announced in 2019, and Riot Games' Tom and Tony Cannon stopped by Undercity Nights to show the progress the team has made. They were careful to say that this gameplay clip is a "vertical slice" that was built to "hammer out the final look of the game, in advance of actually going in and building all of our content like characters and stages."

While this may look like a polished demo, Tom confirmed the game would not be shipping in either 2021 or 2022, and that the team still has plenty of work to do until it's ready to be released into the world.

"Our goal is to build a super high-quality fighting game that the FGC can invest deeply in, playing for years or even decades," Tom said. "That takes time to get right, and we’re not going to rush it."

Despite that, a lot more was revealed about Project L, including that it will be a "tag-team style fighting game, where you'll build and pilot a team of two different champions." Additionally, the art style has been updated and they walked players through a "breakdown of a champion's kit."

The controls are extremely important in Project L, and Riot is developing them with "an easy-to-learn but hard-to-master mentality." Another big focus for the team is the netcode, as it wants Project L to have "the absolute best" a fighting game can have.

"We also talk a little about one of our top priorities for the game: to build the absolute best in netcode that you can get in a fighter," Tom explained. "Of course we’re starting with rollback as a foundation, and we’re adding in existing tech from Riot like RiotDirect, which does a great job at minimizing ping for League of Legends and VALORANT."

Riot isn't quite ready to give a proper release date or window for the game besides saying it won't arrive this year or next, but it has confirmed that it is "almost locked in on the stuff that makes a game a game (core gameplay, controls, art direction, etc.) but we still need to do things like build out a full roster of champions, design stages, add menus and UI, create ranking systems, and more."

It will be some time before we hear more about Project L, as Tom shared that we won't hear from them again until "sometime early in the second half of 2022." This will be part of their plan to "commit to AT LEAST two updates next year."

This news shouldn't come as too much of a surprise considering the overwhelmingly positive reception Arcane has received since it made its premiere on November 6, 2021. It's also currently sitting as the #2 spot on Netflix's Global Top 10 list of English language TV shows.

We also sung Arcane's praises in our review and awarded it a rare 10/10 score, saying, "Arcane is the first video game adaptation that’s truly a masterpiece, breaking new ground for what’s possible in TV animation."

Season 2 of Arcane will be brought to us by Riot Games, with Fortiche Productions returning for its animation. The series was created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, and Linke will serve as executive producer alongside Marc Merrill, Brandon Beck, Jane Chung, and Thomas Vu.

"We're beyond happy about the positive response to Arcane's first season and are working hard with the creative wizards at Riot and Fortiche to deliver our second installment," said Arcane co-creators Christian Linke and Alex Yee.

If that isn't enough Arcane excitement, Riot is currently celebrating its premiere with a full month celebration across all its biggest games in an event called RiotX Arcane. These celebrations include free Arcane skins in League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra will add a new permanent mode called The Path of Champions, Valorant will offer a free RiotX Arcane Pass, and more.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has released its first major update and it provides fixes for Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

As detailed by Rockstar, these fixes include everything from "holes in the map" to "issues with character models in cutscenes" to the shockingly awful "issue with rain visual effects" in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

As of this writing, the update is now available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. We will update this story when it is released for Nintendo Switch and PC.

This is all part of Rockstar's plan to improve the quality of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition as, according to them, "the updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect."

Additionally, Rockstar has gifted everyone who owns Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition on PC the classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as another way to make up for the problems. It has also made these classic versions available, once again, on the Rockstar Store as a bundle.

These issues were noticed quickly after launch, and they included quality concerns, Switch-specific problems, troubles with the Rockstar Launcher, missing elements, so much more.

In our review of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, we said it this collection is "defective, disappointing, and surprisingly disrespectful to three classic games and their many legions of fans."

Disney has shared the first look of Lightsaber and Bridge Training aboard Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser – the two-night, immersive Star Wars hotel experience opening next year at Walt Disney World.

Shared as part of today's Destination D23 presentation, Disney Parks, Experience and Products Chairman Josh D'Amaro gave fans of that galaxy far, far away a glimpse of how lightsabers will be part of their Galactic Starcruiser adventure.

FIRST LOOK: Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro gives a sneak peek of lightsaber Training in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at #WaltDisneyWorld Resort: https://t.co/ZPUuAre5nq #DestinationD23 pic.twitter.com/aZMf6jeBDX

As shown in the video, guests will enter a room and will be given a lightsaber to train against a wall-mounted training remote. It appears there will be beams of light that can be seen through smoke in the room to simulate where the remote will be firing. It looks to start off slow, but it quickly speeds up and will truly test your skill as a Jedi.

Following that demo, D'Amaro showed a bit of what Bridge Training will look like aboard Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Guests will be able to visit the bridge of the Halcyon – the name of the ship this experience takes place on – and will be trained in the ways of navigation, power, defense, and other critical systems.

You will get a chance to press the buttons and levers and keep the Halcyon on track and safe from the First Order. Speaking of the First Order, you will have to defend the ship by controlling the weapons and firing at enemies on a massive screen that simulates a window out into space.

This first look follows our preview of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, where we got to see first-hand what guests will get to be part of when it opens on March 1, 2022.

For more, check out our breakdown of everything you need to know about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, including how much it costs, what kind of food will be aboard, and how it will let you live your very own Star Wars story.
