How to Get Into the Project Loki Playtest
Project Loki is the brainchild of former League of Legends developer Joe Tung, a “League meets Apex meets Smash” style game that promises to be community-driven and fun enough to have you playing for thousands of hours with your squad.
The game is still far from its release, but gameplay has potential so far. The large maps and interesting mobility options have intrigued gamers, especially because it looks like it could be an entirely new subgenre of game. Teams of highly customizable heroes work together to defeat other teams and take control of the map, which consists of an abundance of segmented locations.
If this sounds up your alley, you can join the Project Loki playtest this week.
When is the Project Loki Playtest?
Theorycraft Games just announced an upcoming playtest. Here’s when it will be available:
- Thursday, August 24: 5 - 9 PM PST
- Friday, August 25: 5 - 9 PM PST
- Saturday, August 26: 11 AM - 3 PM PST
What Is In the Project Loki Playtest?
This time around, the playtest will focus on movement, according to developers. Check out the unique ways to traverse the large map and what are your best tactics for moving around the map as a squad.
But that’s not it. You can also check out the first-ever Project Loki DEATHMATCH SHOWMATCH. It will be taking place on Saturday at 11:15 AM PST. The “smol tournament” will feature three “top deathmatch enthusiast squads” and one squad made up of developers. Join the Discord to find out where to watch.
