Datamine Hints at 'Mysteries' Loot-Box Logic in Marvel Rivals Season 4

With no purchase hooks found, whether any boxes are paid or earnable remains unclear ahead of the September 12 launch.

Overview

  • Dataminer RivalsInfo reported Season 4 files reference a 'Mysteries' player component with entries like 'cosmic mysteries number' and 'BOX_OPEN_HISTORY_CHANGE'.
  • The findings are interpreted as logic tied to an earlier loot-box system, reviving code first spotted in December 2024 that was not implemented at release.
  • NetEase previously told players the earlier loot-box assets were leftover development content and said the game would not feature randomized items.
  • RivalsInfo said they found no references to purchasing boxes and suggested any such rewards could be earned via challenges or the battle pass.
  • GamesRadar+, PCGamesN, Dexerto, and others note the code could be reused or inactive, and reactions from players are divided as Season 4 nears on September 12.
