Riot is developing a shooter currently named Project A

Riot Games, the developer behind League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics has announced they are currently developing a new first-person shooter title, named at the moment as Project A. As of right now, not much is known although, the gameplay trailer that was shown seems to depict a cross of Overwatch's unique character design, matched against Counter-Strike's fast and decisive gunplay.

"Project A is our tactical based character shooter," Anna Donlon, executive producer on Project A stated in the trailer. "It's competitive and it has precise gunplay, it's set on a beautiful near future Earth and it has a lethal cast of characters."

As well as bringing a varied cast of playable characters and tight gunplay, Riot also announced some of the main points they're focused on in development, such as a method to combat lag and anti-cheater methods.

By putting an emphasis on global infrastructure and net code design, Riot hopes to combat and reduce the effects of lag in Project A, without necessarily having the needs for dedicated servers. As for anti-cheaters, Riot has stated that since day one they have "put anti-cheat at the forefront of development and will do whatever it takes to preserve the integrity of your matches."

More information about Project A is on its way however, we will have to wait until 2020 before it is officially revealed.
