Players will find themselves awakening from cryosleep on an alien planet, stranded aboard a damaged spaceship. With the help of a companion drone, players must navigate the new environment, gather essential resources, and work to repair their ship.
In Illuvium Zero, the gameplay involves establishing and managing an outpost to produce fuel and other resources critical for exploration. Players can unlock new technologies and rare blueprints to improve their equipment and adapt to the environment whilst also engaging in trading fuel and blueprints on the market.
In the Illuvium Overworld, players capture Illuvials, forge specialized gear, and craft unique items to aid in their journey. They undertake various missions to uncover the planet’s secrets and connect with other players in real-time to share discoveries and stay informed about events whilst Illuvium Arena offers strategic combat through auto-battles against other players, with diverse game modes such as Ascendant (1v1 battles), Survival Mode (PvE challenges), and Gauntlet Mode (8-player free-for-all).
Finally, Illuvium Beyond allows players to collect beautifully illustrated cards depicting Illuvials in unique forms, and earn exclusive rewards by completing these collections.
Airdrop and Future Updates
The game launch also marks the start of a six-month airdrop campaign. Players can earn a portion of the 180,000 $ILV reward pool by completing in-game tasks and milestones, with 30,000 $ILV distributed each season.
Illuvium’s developers plan to release continuous updates, special events, and new content based on community feedback post-launch.
To ensure a smooth start, players are encouraged to follow Illuvium’s official channels for the latest news and updates, download and install the latest game version from Epic Games on release day, familiarize with game mechanics and patch notes, and engage with the community to exchange tips and connect with fellow players.
