While only available for the Las Vegas event ’s attendee , they have n’t lost the opportunity to unwrap one of the upcoming fighter for the game : Yasuo , the Unforgiven .
One of the most popular fiber in their flagship game League of Legends , it ’s no curiosity that the samurai joins the fray as one of Riot ’s illustration in their newest bet . Check out his preview , complete with a case breakdown , below .
“Face the Wind” Gets a Whole New Meaning
A master in both swordsmanship and wind trick , Yasuo is make for these two elements into his fighting plot iteration . Just as versatile ( and venomous ) as he is in League , Yasuo can maintain his aloofness with his mid - to - large distance normals or apply pressure with his quick dashes and cancel . Even his infamous Wind Wall is here , blockade all projectiles as common .

Despite not being that huge of a Yasuo fan myself , I ’m a stark all-day sucker for samurai - trend characters in fighting games like Strider Hiryu in Marvel vs Capcom or Baiken in Guilty Gear . So , I ’m definitely skip on the Yasuo train when Project L is finally out .
And frankly , I would n’t be surprised if Yone also followed his brother into the agitate game just like he did in the MOBA . Maybe not on the main roster but as a post - release DLC ? I could definitely see that happening .
Project L was announced back in 2019 and is still under maturation . The game has no release date or official name just yet ( just like Valorant was announced on the same daytime under the codename Project A).But given Riot ’s recent success outside the MOBA genre , it ’s good to believe this labor is definitely taking a good act .
