We want Japanese fighting games fans as well as Riot Games fans who have yet to experience fighting games to discover the fun for themselves.
The dev team will also be present at EVO Japan and will be taking feedback from the community on the game. Riot has been in active contact with professional players and the community to understand what aspects of the game are liked or disliked.
Our goal is to build the game with you, and for you, with communities around the world.
