The Loot Gaming bundle will not only focus on gaming, but also constitute a slight upgrade from the standard Loot Crate service. For $25, Loot Gaming subscribers will receive 4-6 “premium items,” some of which will be available exclusively through the service. The contents of a standard $15 Loot Crate include a varying number of items reportedly worth $45 from other retailers.
“It’s a different tier of item in the same category,” Loot Crate founder Matt Arevalo told Game Informer. “Whereas you can expect a really cool t-shirt in a loot crate, you would expect to find other kinds of wearables in Loot Gaming that are appropriate for the price point.”
The first crate for Loot Gaming will feature a “Legacy” theme, and include special Street Fighter-, Halo-, and Skyrim-related items made in collaboration with the games’ publishers.
In addition to Loot Gaming, the company recently announced its first recurring franchise-specific subscription based on the cult-classic TV show Firefly. The bi-monthly “Firefly Cargo Crate” is valued at $65 per box and features five to seven items, including merchandise from manufacturer Quantum Mechanix. The service has created special edition one-off packages in the past, such as last year’s Fallout-themed crate, tied to the release of Fallout 4.
Gaming fans interested in signing up for Loot Gaming can sign up for the service’s mailing list.
