The latest sneak peek of League of Legends highly anticipated 2D tag-team fighting game, Project L, has been released. Riot showcased a few champions that will be featured in the game. These champions were Jinx, Ekko, Darius, Ahri, and Katarina. With how vast League's world is, there are, quite literally, more than a hundred characters that may get the spotlight in Project L.
Considering how the latest sneak-peek of the game featured a crossover with the critically-acclaimed Netflix series, Arcane, it is safe to assume that more characters from the show will be added into the game. The gameplay from the Project L sneak peek featured the bridge connecting Piltover and Zaun, which is a key setting in the show. It also used the in-game models for Ekko and Jinx from the series.
Judging from this, it would make sense for Project L to include characters like Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, Vi, Caitlyn, and Singed - all of whom were featured in Arcane. Jayce and Viktor are two popular champions whose story makes a good chunk of Arcane, with Heimerdinger playing a part in their arcs too. Vi is arguably the main character of the series, following her search for her long-lost sister, Powder (aka Jinx in League of Legends). Caitlyn is also a significant character in the series, being Vi's love interest and helping her with the search for Jinx. As for Singed, he plays a major role in the formation of characters like Warwick and Jinx, so it's a safe bet that he will be included in Project L.
The cities of Piltover and Zaun were featured in the gameplay in the sneak peek of Project L, so characters from these respective cities will most likely be included in the fighting game. Ezrael, Lux, Seraphine, and Orianna are some champions from Piltover who could be included in the main roster of Project L. Ezrael, Lux and Seraphine seem very likely, considering their in-game popularity in League of Legends. Warwick, Ziggs, and Janna seem likely to be champions from Zaun who may be included in Project L. Warwick especially makes sense, considering how the Arcane series has teased him multiple times throughout the show and included his howl at the end of the teaser for Arcane's second season.
A key area seen in the first reveal trailer for Project L was a map that seemed to be Shurima, the desert empire of Runeterra. There are loads of key characters in League of Legends who hail from Shumira, and they will most likely be included in the final roster of Project L. Some characters from Shumira are the new champion, Akshan, Nasus, Rammus, and Azir. Azir is a key player in the lore of Shumira, being the empire of that land, so it seems likely for his appearance in the roster. Akshan and Rammus are some fan-favorites whose abilities seem well fit to be built into a 2D fighting game. For example, Akshan in League of Legends has a grappling hook ability that has the potential to be used to prolong some powerful combos in Project L.
Besides the release of Arcane, Riot Games has also recently released a turn-based RPG called Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. This game is set in the area of Bilgewater, a port city in the Blue Flame Isles archipelago of Runeterra. Ruined King features Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Yasuo, Ahri, Pyke, and Braum as playable characters, with Viego being the main antagonist. Ahri has already been confirmed to be a playable character in Project L. Considering the popularity of Miss Fortune, and seeing that she is also one of the starting heroes beginner players can choose in League of Legends, it's safe to say she will likely appear in the main roster of Project L.
Viego also seems extremely likely to appear, as he is one of the main antagonists in the League of Legends universe. As for Illaoi, Yasuo, Pyke, and Braum, there is not much evidence that can point that they will return for Project L. However, considering how they are major characters in Ruined King, which is canon in the League of Legends universe, they should be added to the roster. Illaoi and Braum would most definitely have heavy, slow-moving attacks, while characters like Yasuo and Pyke would be more focused on fast, intense attacks that when timed right, could juggle the player's opponents in powerful combos.
Although not featured in either the sneak peek or the reveal, Noxus and its champions are likely to appear in the roster of Project L. With Noxians like Darius and Katarina being featured in the reveal gameplay, Project L will probably include other Noxians such as Draven, who is Darius' brother in the lore, Samira, and Riven. Noxus has also been referenced multiple times in the show Arcane, and seeing from the sneak peek gameplay that Project L will have a crossover with Arcane, the inclusion of Noxian champions into the rosters is to be expected. Champions like Draven, Samira, and Riven could prove to have some satisfying tool kits. Draven and Samira could have quick, flashy attacks while champions like Riven and Darius would focus on brutal heavy attacks.
The world of League of Legends is massive and ever-growing, with more than a hundred champions to play as in the main game, there are only so many Riot Games can include in a 2D fighting game like Project L. The champions listed above are some of the popular ones that are highly likely to appear but there are many that can be included in the main roster. Riot could also add DLC characters and areas that may not be explored in the main story of the base game. The release date of Project L has not been announced, let alone the actual title of the game, so there may be loads of expansions in the lore of League of Legends that can be released before Project L that will most likely influence the final roster of the 2D fighting game.
