Rocket League adding unlockable loot crates

It may not be the best time to announce that unlockable crates are being added to Rocket League, considering the controversies surrounding Counter-Strike: GO’s crates and skins, but Psyonix has confirmed that they will come in a future update.

The developer confirmed its plans on Reddit in response to a Redditor finding crate and key assets in the game’s files. “Those assets are, indeed, early pieces of an upcoming system we plan on implementing to fund our esports prize pools and events,” Psyonix VP Jeremy Dunham wrote.

“We plan on officially announcing it next month at (or near) the RLCS Live Finals since it directly relates to that event and other events like it, but since this image came out before our official word, we wanted to clarify some things for you.”
