Recent reports suggest that Marvel Rivals could be introducing loot boxes, following a dataminer’s findings of references to “mystery box logic” hidden within the game files for Season 4. Though there is no official confirmation yet, the speculation has clearly ignited discussions among the player community.

“Loot boxes could be coming to Marvel Rivals at some point in the future,” the X account RivalsInfo stated. They continued, “In Season 4, logic for the ‘Mysteries’ player component was reintroduced. This component hints at old loot box systems.”

Responses from the community are sharply divided. Some players express excitement at the prospect, saying they wouldn’t mind having loot boxes, while others voice their concern over potential monetization. One player tweeted, “GAMBLING IN MARVEL RIVALS WE ARE ALL HAPPY,” while another warned, “but if it’s paid, I’ll be upset!”

This topic brings up comparisons to other games that have grappled with similar issues, like Overwatch. As the situation evolves, many hope NetEase, the game’s developer, will tread carefully to maintain a fair gaming experience.
