Web3 game studio Illuvium will launch its three-title ecosystem this Thursday, July 25. The ecosystem features three interconnected games tied to exploration, resource gathering, and conquest within a single universe.
The studio, which has over $100 million in funding and a million enthusiastic fans, features talent from major gaming companies. Jaco Herbst, formerly of Blizzard Entertainment, and Kostiantyn Bondar, formerly of Ubisoft, Samsung and Gunzilla Games, are part of the team.
“Our original intention was to create one title, but being brothers and highly competitive, we couldn’t agree on the genre and ended up creating three games in different genres,” said Kieran Warwick, CEO of Illuvium. “We’ve probably lost 30 years of our lifespan, so we hope it’s worth it.”
The Illuvium ecosystem allows for in-game progress and items to be transferred between games, including Illuvium: Arena and Illuvium: Zero. According to the announcement, this creates a more rewarding and beginner-friendly experience.
Illuvium: Overworld is the main title of the ecosystem, where players explore otherworldly locations and collect alien species called Illuvials.
Illuvium: Arena allows players to use the Illuvials captured in the main title in a real-time strategy environment. Illuvials can level up in Arena and become stronger through different synergies.
Meanwhile, Illuvium: Zero is a land-building game in which users play as a drone to develop land and collect resources, including fuel, which will become a key component of the Illuvium ecosystem.
Arena and Zero titles have mobile support, targeting a growing segment of gamers around the world.
Notably, players have full ownership of their in-game assets, stored in their Immutable Passport wallet and verifiable on the ethereum blockchain. The ecosystem’s native token, ILV, powers decentralized governance and allows players to participate in revenue distribution.
Last month, Illuvium Labs announced a $12 million Series A funding round to support the Q2 2024 launch of its ethereum-based gaming universe, which includes Illuvium Arena, Illuvium Overworld, and Illuvium Zero.
Last month, Illuvium secured $12 million in Series A funding, ramping up its development for a gaming ecosystem that allows for interoperable nft use across all titles and offers a revenue-sharing model.
