Riot plans to get closer to the community and look for feedback from the biggest fighting game community in the world. As such, the game will be playable as a Demo in Japan on EVO 2024. Now it's still up in the air if it will be the same demo or an updated version, but Riot Games has stated that we will be getting more Information early next year.

Riot has already changed some UI elements in the game. Maybe we even get to see a new character added to the roster. So far it's only Ahri, Ekko, Darius and Yasuo.
This announcement makes EVO Japan alot more interesting for the fighting game community. It already boasts a great lineup of games, but project L might just take the cake.
