Announced just now on the Riot stream.



Riot Games is expanding beyond the world of League of Legends. Today, the developer announced a new title currently dubbed "Project A," which it describes as "a stylish, competitive, character-based tactical shooter for PC." Notably, the new game won't be based on the expansive and fantastical League universe. Instead, it'll be a brand-new setting. "The game is set on a beautiful near-future Earth and has a lethal cast of characters, each with unique abilities that create tactical opportunities for their gunplay to shine," Riot explains.

It sounds like Project A will combine elements of games like Overwatch and Counter Strike, but that's about all the info we have on the game right now. Riot says to expect more details on the mysterious shooter sometime next year.

Looks like Riot is going to take Blizzard's place soon, not only with this game. That card game looks interesting too.

Looks like a pretty bland CSGO-Overwatch mix.

If that's all then that's a hard pass.

I mean I know it's an early build but wtf was that gameplay? lol

Everything was slow, the shooting looked off. I'm confused.

Movement speed looks slow as hell. Having to deal with respawn times and running slowly back to fights isnt appealing.

I'm always down for more CStrike. Curious to see what kind of abilities will be in it though :\

CS made by a studio that develops videogames.

I honestly think this is going to clown CS simply for the fact that more than five people work on it. Plus it has Volcano working on it (from what I understand)

Very much looking forward to what comes out of this.

Really (pleasantly) surprised how similar to Counter-Strike it looks. Definitely room for more tactical competitive shooters! Can't wait to try.

Getting shadowrun vibes (which is a good thing)

Based on the little bit of gameplay we've seen so far it looks like it trends more towards CS than Overwatch
