Project A is Riot Games’ new first-person tactical shooter that’s in development right now, as announced in the middle of the League of Legends 10th anniversary celebrations (via IGN).
It probably won’t be titled ‘Project A’ but I kind of like the name. Set on a near-future Earth, it’s a first-person tactical shooter with a ‘lethal cast of characters’. The art style is toony, sort of like Overwatch, but it seems to play similarly to Counter Strike. Project A won’t be connected to League of Legends, so I wouldn’t expect to see familiar faces in its roster, but that does give Riot Games the freedom to create an entirely new world.
Each hero will have their own unique ability that will turn the tide in battle. In the brief gameplay footage, it looks like one character can resurrect fallen allies and build a defensive wall to keep them safe. These abilities will lead to ‘amazing tactical opportunities for your gunplay to shine.’ Just like League of Legends, Riot Games said that it is very much committed to the new game now and in the future, and to look after future Project A players, it will be cracking down on cheaters and network problems like low ping.
We don’t know much more than that about Project A, but Riot Games said to keep an eye on its official Twitter account and that updates are coming next year. Watch the reveal below.
