The plan was always to <strong>keep the game free<\/strong> while allowing players to buy extra items if they wish. Tom Cannon, the executive producer for Project L, says that they\u2019ll be considerate when asking for your money. They want to ensure that the main focus is on the game and not profits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\/dev: The Latest on Project L | dev diary - Project L\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BbwmX-coQCM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the champion Illaoi, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riotgames.com\/en\/news\/dev-illaoi-in-project-l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent blog post<\/a> shows the <strong>lengthy process<\/strong> when deciding on and developing a character for Project L. Once the team has decided which character to work on next from the roster of fighters, there\u2019s a lot to be done. Team meetings are abundant, tasks are handed out in quick succession, and there\u2019s loads of project management happening between various disciplines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s impressive to see how much thinking goes into a <strong>champion like Illaoi<\/strong> for the Project L fighting game. Some of the factors include themes, archetypes, fight fantasy, race, personality, and more. That means we\u2019re bound to receive more lore and origin stories for the characters than we currently see in League of Legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"League of Legends Project L fighting game\" class=\"wp-image-198140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/League-of-Legends-Project-L-fighting-game-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s almost as exciting as when <a href=\"https:\/\/league-of-legends.en.softonic.com\/articles\/league-of-legends-wild-rift-new-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">League of Legends: Wild Rift introduced new champions<\/a> and content last month.
