Marvel Rivals could be getting lootboxes along with a lottery system according to leaks
@RivalsLeaks is a popular source of leaks about Marvel Rivals. Recently, the leaker took to the social media platform X to upload pictures of the game's directory. They uploaded visible pictures of game files related to a lottery system and potential new currencies named Crystallization and Marscoin.
These new currencies could possibly be converted into Lattice and Units, which could then be used to purchase skins. The leaker also uploaded picture assets of what appear to be lootboxes. A lottery system may also be in the works for a limited-time event in the future, according to the leaked images.
It's also possible that these are assets from previous versions of the game and have been scrapped entirely ahead of full release. However, if the leaks turn out to be accurate, Marvel Rivals could receive controversial lootboxes that offer interesting prizes to the players along with the new currencies.
The lootboxes found in the directory have five different Rarity types, including:
- Gray
- Blue
- Red
- Yellow
- Purple
@RivalsLeaks speculated that Red lootboxes would have the highest rarity, and the Gray ones could be used for recolors of skins. They also shared a 3D model image of a Blue lootbox with what appears to be the game's background for opening the boxes.
Lootboxes are a complicated matter in gaming as they are banned across many nations and considered a form of gambling. This is one reason why the move to introduce them in the game could be controversial.
Regardless, it's important to note that these are leaks, and the developers at NetEase Games are yet to release an official statement about any of the assets mentioned in the X post by @RivalsLeaks.
