At this point, loot boxes are pretty much inescapable. Most triple-A games now have some sort of “pay virtual/real money for randomized gear” system, and the way loot boxes have been added to games like Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Star Wars Battlefront II has stirred a fair amount of controversy.

Well, you can officially add Assassin’s Creed Origins to the loot box list, although it sounds like Ubisoft plans to implement them in a reasonable way. As revealed today, Origins will add a special traveling merchant post-launch, who lets players access daily quests and buy “Heka Chests,” which contain randomized weapons and gear. Cue controversy.
