Despite the lack of details aside from some gameplay footage, a new detail regardingProject L’s release was accidentally leaked by the official PlayStation Europe Twitter account. The since-deleted post was meant to promote some new gameplay features inthe recently releasedStreet Fighter 6, but instead, the embedded video showcases footage forProject L. The exact footage of the video is unavailable, save for a screenshot someone managed to capture near the beginning of it, but it is likely that this slip-up could hint at a PlayStation 5 release for this upcoming title.
This reveal might come off to some as unusual, seeing how the mainLeague of Legendstitle is only available on PC and Mac. However, there is precedent for such a practice even with this very IP, as the RPG spin-offRuined King: A League of Legends Storywas released across all current platforms. In addition to the tweet possibly being a Freudian slip regardingProject L’s platform list, it could also be true that there are plans to further showcase the game soon, with this video just being an early leak of it.
Of course, all of the above should be treated with caution and nothing should be assumed until word from Riot Games gets out. Whenever that does happen, it should be a treat, seeinghow much potentialProject Lhasin terms of what it can do for its genre, and the overall popularity of theLeague of Legendsbrand as a whole.
