Australia-based blockchain gaming studio Illuvium is releasing an alpha version of Illuvium: Zero. Apparently open to the roughly 6,500 holders of Illuvium land NFTs on mobile and PC, Zero joins the team’s two existing games. Monster battler Illuvium: Arena and open world Illuvium: Overworld. Both are still in the beta testing phase. Access to all three is expected to open up fully to the public midway through 2023.
Zero is a building game where players can develop and manage their “digital industrial complex.” Among the features, land NFT holders will be able to earn from their NFTs by extracting fuel and selling it on the game’s marketplace. Built using Unreal Engine 5 on ImmutableX’s blockchain, Australia-based Illuvium wants to build a product capable of competing with non-blockchain games.
