Marvel Rivals takes plenty of cues from Overwatch, and a new datamine suggests that it may be lifting one more bit from the hero shooter that defined the genre: loot boxes. Perhaps the most surprising thing about the possibility is that the community seems pretty well split on whether it would be a good thing.
"In Season 4, logic for the 'Mysteries' player component was reintroduced," according to RivalsInfo on Twitter. "'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."
