TL;DR

Illuvium recently officially launched its Open Beta on Immutable!

It’s the web3 game with the most insane, high-quality graphics, fantastic music, and a genuinely one-of-a-kind world, according to METAGOONS™.

This AAA game offers players an unparalleled web3 gaming experience, seamlessly blending open-world exploration, NFT creature collecting, auto-battler combat, city-building, and decentralized finance into one immersive universe.

From the Overworld, where Rangers explore, capture, and evolve their Illuvials, to Illuvium Zero, where players build and manage their own outposts, to the competitive Arena battles, and the vast realm of Illuvium Beyond, there's no shortage of adventure and excitement awaiting players.

Illuvium co-founder Kieran Warwick shared his excitement on X: 

To the Community: You've kept us focused and have been with us every step of the way, shaping what Illuvium is today. No other group outside of the core contributors has had more influence on the direction of Illuvium. Thank you for sticking with us on this long and arduous journey. We appreciate every one of you.

Your journey begins: A Ranger’s first steps

This is not the paradise promised. 

Stranded on an alien planet, you awaken from cryosleep aboard a damaged spaceship, finding yourself thrust into a crisis that sets the stage for an epic adventure. 

From the moment you open your eyes, you're immersed in a world of conflict and mystery, pulling you into the heart of the action.

Your first steps in this new world will be guided as you learn to navigate your surroundings and master the technology available to you. 

Alongside a loyal companion drone, you'll quickly adapt to your new reality, mastering enhanced movement capabilities, wielding powerful weapons, and facing off against challenging creatures. 

As you explore, you'll gather essential resources that play a crucial role in repairing your damaged ship, your lifeline in this foreign environment.

As you complete your training and step into your role as a Ranger, you'll be equipped to face the dangers ahead, ready to uncover the planet's secrets and forge your path.

The Illuvium universe is comprised of:

Illuvium Overworld: Explore, capture, evolve, and embark on an epic adventure
