The new gameplay reveal trailer gives players a first look at the detailed environments of the vast overworld, and the game’s artful high-fidelity CG graphics.
The art team behind the game includes seasoned pros who have worked on blockbuster projects like Star Wars: The Mandalorian, films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and popular mainstream video games like World of Warcraft. Set to a pulse-pounding orchestral remix of Fatboy Slim’s track “Praise You,” the gameplay footage shows characters duking it out on battle boards, extracting resources to sell or craft into items, and exploring the enormous overworld by jetpack. Illuvium’s collectible characters and resources are NFT assets that players can discover, own, and upgrade to increase earning opportunities in the play-to-earn sci-fi adventure.
