Riots new LoL event trailer had fans thinking they were getting Project L news

Riot Games released a new League of Legends teaser trailer today, immediately prompting fans to believe they were getting some kind of update on the long-fabled Project L, a League-based fighting game originally teased by Riot nearly four years ago. Instead, the teaser trailer appears to be for another set of in-game skins, an in-universe event, as well as the often-teased two-vs-two-vs-two-vs-two deathmatch mode that has been in development for several years.  

The trailer, titled “Enter the Arena,” is for an event called Soul Fighter, which will undoubtedly be the 2023 summer event for League, just as events like Star Guardian and Sentinels of Light were in recent years. The animated teaser trailer features League champions preparing to do battle in a massive coliseum, complete with screaming fans, falling confetti, and an announcer hyping up the crowd as the champs prepare to take center stage. Several champions were shown off in the teaser, although none of them are too distinguishable due to the way they’re lit and shadowed.
