Don't worry, Skate still isn't going to have paid loot boxes

[ad_1]

If you were worried about the upcoming Skate reboot having loot boxes and the like, that’s very fair, but the devs promise it won’t.

EA and loot boxes are pretty synonymous with one another, so it’s very understandable if you have some apprehensions about Full Circle’s new Skate game. Concerns have also been growing slightly since a recent Insider Gaming report claimed that Skate does have a loot box system built into the game currently. Seemingly in response to this, the official Skate Twitter account posted a tweet with a reminder that the game is “not pay-to-win,” has “no map areas locked behind paywall, no paid loot boxes,” and “no paid gameplay advantages.”

According to Insider Gaming’s report, the way you can unlock loot boxes currently is using a currency called Stars, which a previous datamine suggested you could receive by exchanging it with another currency called Taps, earned through tricks and generally just playing the game. Players apparently believe Taps could eventually be purchasable with real-world money, but if Full Circle is to be believed, it sounds like any loot boxes in the game will be entirely earned through in-game play.
