Loot Crate announces a new addition to their roster of subscription crates
called
Loot Play which will deliver a monthly selection of independent PC
games. They call this subscription "the first of its kind on the platform,"
which is not true, as the Humble folks have been running
Humble Monthly for
three years now. This is only available
in the U.S. to start, and they say that games will be redeemed via
Steam
codes. "We want to solve two problems with Loot Play. We want to help
subscribers find new games that are curated with a focus on creative new voices,
and we want to help these independent studios reach new audiences through our
large network of Looters," said Erik Reynolds, VP of Product Marketing and
Communications, Loot Crate. "Loot Play will be Loot Crate's first digital
subscription product and will open the door for the company to continue its
growth through digital offerings, redefine collecting and explore the
relationship fans have with content." Here's more:
Each digital crate
month will have one featured title, a title that is the anchor of each month and
fully revealed in our marketing assets. We'll dive into the stories of the
development teams and their unique voices in the games industry through stories
on
The Daily Crate, we'll feature them on our Tuesday streams on Twitch and
Mixer, and they will be the star of that month's marketing push. The other four
games in each crate will be a mystery in keeping with Loot Crate tradition, but
we will show those teams some love on unboxing day, near the end of each crate
cycle. Our debut featured title for Loot Play is Crossing Souls, developed by
Fourattic and published by Devolver Digital!
