The team behind Illuvium has released the first gameplay trailer from the game that is going to combine a unique mix of genres. Developers describe the game as “an open-world RPG, monster collector, and auto-battler game built on the Ethereum Blockchain”. The goal is to release the game for both PC and Mac sometime in 2022.
The trailer provides viewers with a peek at the game world and its detailed environments and the fully rendered CG graphics. Team members creating the world have worked on projects including Star Wars: The Mandalorian, films from the Marvel cinematic universe, and MMOs including World of Warcraft. Viewers will also see characters fighting on battle boards, extracting resources to sell or craft with, and exploring the world via a jetpack.
Other gameplay features include:
- hunting, capturing, and battling monstrous creatures
- collecting NFTs called “Illuvials”
- training and fusing Illuvials into powerful evolutions
- strategizing for optimal battling in both PvE and PvP
