Theorycraft invites any interested tastemakers and community-builders to join the fray in their next PC playtest on June 29 + 30. Check out the [first footage of *Project Loki*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UoAbECRMAw), presented by Theorycraft Games CEO Joe Tung (EVP, *League of Legends*; Executive Producer, *Destiny *and *Halo: Reach*). To register your interest in playtesting, [sign up](https://www.theorycraftgames.com/playtest) on the Theorycraft website. "As players *and* developers, we feel like it's been a minute since there's been something truly new and fun to play with your friends." said Joe Tung, CEO of Theorycraft Games. "To make *Project Loki*, we took our collective experiences working on some of the biggest team-based PvP games like *League, VALORANT, Apex, *and *Overwatch,* and have been building with a group of hardcore playtesters out the gate. Now *Project Loki *has evolved into something fresh and unlike anything we've played so far, and we’re ready to take the next step. It might seem early but we became independent to take a big swing on behalf of players; to do that means involving them as soon as possible, showing our work, and building a community that we’ll listen to across every stage of development.” **What is *Project Loki*?***Project Loki* is a squad-based hero battleground—a blend of genres and a new take on hero-based combat. Described by playtesters as “*League* meets *Apex *meets *Smash*,” *Project Loki *is an all-in-one group adventure, a competitive sandbox, and highlight factory. In a session of *Loki*, players will assemble a squad of heroes; outplay other teams in sprawling, free-flowing battles; run the edge of a huge world in the sky; and dream up crazy strategies in a massive combat sandbox. *Project Loki* is still a **work-in-progress, **as the team has been developing from the core game loop (combat, movement, hero kits, etc.) out. This means meta-progression, competitive features, hero concepts, environmental design, and final art are all a work-in-progress. Founded by key developers behind titles like *League of Legends*, *VALORANT*, *Overwatch*, *Halo*, *Destiny*, and *Apex Legends*, Theorycraft is dedicated to deep games worthy of thousands of hours of play, and multiplayer experiences that are just better with friends.  For more information on Theorycraft Games and *Project Loki*, visit [theorycraftgames.com](https://www.theorycraftgames.com/).
