Loot boxes could be coming to Marvel Rivals as a dataminer finds evidence of 'multiple references to mystery box logic', and like always, players are divided

Marvel Rivals Season 3: Phoenix gritting her teeth as she's pinned to the ground by Hela, who's out of frame.

Word on the street is that Marvel Rivals has plans for loot boxes after a dataminer uncovered evidence of mystery box logic while trawling Season 4's files. There's no official confirmation yet, but the speculation is enough to divide players.

"Loot boxes could be coming to Marvel Rivals at some point in the future," RivalsInfo says in an X post. "In Season 4, logic for the 'Mysteries' player component was reintroduced. 'Mysteries' is the codename for loot boxes. Within this component, there are multiple references to mystery box logic, such as 'cosmic mysteries number' and 'BOX_OPEN_HISTORY_CHANGE', which further confirms that it relates to the old loot box system. The image below shows what it might have looked like when the logic was still in the game."
