Illuvium Beyond

Illuvium Beyond is a collectible game in the Illuvium metaverse. Players collect and craft customizable art pieces based on the setting's creatures.

Illuvium's co-founder, Kieran Warwick, detailed the plans surrounding the Illuvium Beyond Wave 3 release in a September 26 town hall. Warwick kicked off the gathering with developer notes before moving on to some of the most asked questions from the Illuvium community.In addition to introducing new content, Illuvium Beyond is set to receive a <a href="https://funjible.games/news/illuvium-beyond-to-receive-packed-update-in-november">packed update in November</a> filled with visual overhauls involving the album and collection interfaces in the game. Though we're yet to see any teasers, Warwick shared that the Illuvium team was aiming to capture the feeling of collecting Pokémon or chips Tazos, but in a digital sense. Once the update goes live, completing a collection in Beyond will be more visually rewarding.<h2>New Account-Bound Rewards and Split Leaderboards</h2>With Wave 3, more goodies await players as <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Beyond">Illuvium Beyond</a> plans to experiment with account-bound rewards. These include battle boards, profile pictures, and various skins. During the town hall, Warwick also added that they could add such features to other titles like <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Zero">Illuvium Zero</a>. However, unlocking these would require players to interact with Illuvium Beyond, creating a funnel for more players to try the collectible game.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_01_8813f927aa.jpg" alt="Illuvium-Beyond-Sept-26-2024-town-hall-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_01_8813f927aa.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_01_8813f927aa.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_01_8813f927aa.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;As Illuvium gets ready to welcome more players to Beyond through various means, the developers also thought about ways to get them to stay for longer. Wave 3 will introduce split leaderboards, meaning there will be two areas where players will get to compete. The first leaderboard is Legacy, featuring all the Waves so far. The second leaderboard, on the other hand, will only feature the most recent Wave, allowing new players to compete.<h2>New Player Funnels and Backlog of Content</h2>Strategies to attract new players to Illuvium Beyond were also a highlight for the community members since there were multiple follow-up questions regarding the topic. Warwick outlined a scenario where profile pictures in <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-arena">Illuvium Arena</a> could spark interest in new players and have them try out Beyond to unlock more rewards. There are plans for <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Overworld">Illuvium Overworld</a> D1sks that would redirect users to Beyond experiences. "If we get 1,000 more people from Overworld to get D1sks, it will help the Beyond product a lot," Warwick added.The town hall also addressed some of the backlog content players have been waiting to receive since previous waves. Warwick cleared that developers were looking to clear out all the remaining "I owe yous," including promised skins, as some of them were in the final stages of production.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_02_71b33bb357.jpg" alt="Illuvium-Beyond-Sept-26-2024-town-hall-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_02_71b33bb357.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_02_71b33bb357.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Illuvium_Beyond_Sept_26_2024_town_hall_02_71b33bb357.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;Most recently, IlluvialMaster, a learning hub for Illuvium, announced that it would close its doors, and the closing questions during the town hall wondered whether the developers had any plans to address this situation. "I'm planning to have a conversation with them, and I will ask to buy it from them... because we need it," Warwick said while highlighting how valuable it was for third-party tools to grow alongside Illuvium.Prior to the closing remarks, Warwick teased potential future additions, including "Dark Hollows" and a substance system for ship repairs. These features may involve burning accessories or Illuvitars and completing quests. With a dedicated team now focused on Beyond, players can expect more frequent updates in the coming months.&nbsp;

Wave 3 promises visual overhauls and exciting new rewards

Illuvium Beyond Town Hall Teases More Features

The Illuvium universe is vast, and all titles receive love through various gameplay updates. On November 21, Illuvium Beyond will receive its Wave 3 patch, filled with new content and quality-of-life upgrades.First up on the list is a visual overhaul for the collection and album interfaces in the game. These changes aim to improve the overall vibrancy of Illuvium Beyond, making cards and collection pieces feel alive. More rewards are on the way, and they will be mostly account-bound this time, including skins and battle boards.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_01_deb142b5c1.jpg" alt="Illuvium-Beyond-wave-3-info-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_01_deb142b5c1.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_01_deb142b5c1.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_01_deb142b5c1.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_01_deb142b5c1.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;In addition to albums and collections, progress and achievement trackers inside the game are also getting visual makeovers. <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Beyond">Illuvium Beyond</a> players with multiple wallets will be able to utilize them after Wave 3 with the Secondary Wallet Support. More rewards via events could be on the horizon for Legacy players, with more details to come in a community town hall this week.&nbsp;<h2>More Features, Higher Quality of Life</h2>&nbsp;Customizability has been the name of the game in the Illuvium world this past month. <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-arena">Illuvium Arena</a>, for instance, finally got <a href="https://x.com/illuviumio/status/1836911257980485901">custom battle boards</a>. This feature allows players to customize the battle boards, and even more choices will likely become available in future patches.The Illuvium community also voted on various proposals in September. Fans greenlit a marketing budget for Emote D1sks, Cosmetics, and Fuel Crates while approving a revision to the airdrop points system. Enhancing the free-to-play experience has been a hot topic, too, and there was a “Free 2 Play solution” proposal that suggested granting newcomers full access to early game stages using account-bound assets.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_02_6a39e44581.jpg" alt="Illuvium-Beyond-wave-3-info-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_02_6a39e44581.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_02_6a39e44581.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_Illuvium_Beyond_wave_3_info_02_6a39e44581.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>Great Minds Think Alike</h2>&nbsp;Illuvium developers have been focused on improving the gameplay experience while discussing new ideas to expand the player base. Active users seem to share this mindset, and the DAO votes showcase this. With the existing players brainstorming to find the best ways to onboard new users to their favorite game, Illuvium approved positive proposals, and there should be more of these in the coming months.While even Web2 games rely on extensive player feedback to implement changes, many decent ideas could get lost in the process. DAO voting and town halls ensure that the players are heard, and it’s one of the best sides of Web3 gaming. Players are much more valuable assets in the GameFi world, and it’s easier to feel the impact of change. Not all the proposals will be home runs, but once the creativity starts flowing through Discord discussions, great ideas slowly solidify over time.&nbsp;

Upcoming update brings visual overhauls and new rewards


Illuvium Beyond to Receive Packed Update in November

Illuvium is one of the more competitive Web3 games in the space. Its main attraction, <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-arena">Illuvium Arena</a>, an auto-battler, strongly grabs the interest of players looking for some intense action, but the developers also further appeal to its ambitious player base with tournaments like Gauntlet Masters. This event is currently at its end stages, with its final taking place on August 31.Hundreds of players tested their mettle to make it to the finals over the last three weeks, and only 16 made the cut. As these elite members of the Illuvium community go head-to-head in the finals, their efforts will air on <a href="https://discord.com/invite/illuvium">Discord</a> and <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/illuvium">Twitch</a>.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_01_1b132625cc.jpg" alt="illuvium-gauntlet-masters-finals-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_01_1b132625cc.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_01_1b132625cc.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_01_1b132625cc.jpg 750w,https://assets.funjible.games/large_illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_01_1b132625cc.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;<h2>Illuvium Gauntlet Masters Tournament Format</h2>&nbsp;The Finals start with a best-of-one (BO1) semifinal. 16 players will participate in two groups, and the top four of each advance to the grand finals, where the game duration will be longer due to the BO3 format. The Gauntlet Masters Finals has a total prize pool of 100 $ILV, which is around $4,000, according to the current market rate. Here’s a breakdown on the distribution of the rewards.<ul><li>1st Place: 45 $ILV</li><li>2nd Place: 25 $ILV</li><li>3rd Place: 15 $ILV</li><li>4th Place: 7 $ILV</li><li>5th-8th Place: 2 $ILV each</li></ul>&nbsp;This structure ensures that all players who make it out of the semifinals are guaranteed to get rewards. Considering the more strategically difficult nature of the Gauntlet mode, fans can expect to watch high-octane Illuvium gameplay during the tournament.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_02_3cd9415aac.jpg" alt="illuvium-gauntlet-masters-finals-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_02_3cd9415aac.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_02_3cd9415aac.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_gauntlet_masters_finals_02_3cd9415aac.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;Players work with a shared pool of Illuvials in the Gauntlet mode compared to the regular game modes. If you were to consider <a href="https://funjible.games/news/how-to-get-started-in-illuvium">getting started</a> on leveling up an Illuvial, another player could also have the same plan, adding a layer of complexity to the game. This game mode allows Illuvium to get as close as possible to its Web2 rivals, Teamfight Tactics and Dota Underlords.Despite feeling similar to its Web2 alternatives, Illuvium’s Gauntlet Mode still features exclusive mechanics to the game, like the Augments and the Hyper system. The game mode also serves as an excellent starting point for beginners who might be experienced in other auto battlers. Placing players in environments they’re already familiar with could help them bond with Illuvium faster and potentially turn them into regulars.&nbsp;

The Illuvium ecosystem of games offers a unique blend of RPG elements and auto-battler mechanics, which then also combines with a city builder. As a newcomer to this expansive universe, I recently dove into the game's tutorial, and here's everything I encountered.The journey begins with <a href="https://illuvium.io/open-beta?alliance=funjible-games">downloading Illuvium</a> from the Epic Games Store. Surprisingly, the login process is straightforward, with the game guiding you through creating an <a href="https://www.immutable.com/gamers/passport">Immutable Passport</a>, a universal gaming wallet.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_start_tutorial_01_899411cc7a.jpg" alt="illuvium-start-tutorial-01.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_start_tutorial_01_899411cc7a.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_start_tutorial_01_899411cc7a.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_start_tutorial_01_899411cc7a.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>First Login and Character Creation</h2>Upon logging in, you're immediately thrust into character creation. While the current customization options are limited, they provide enough variety to create a unique avatar. After crafting your character, you'll choose a faction. This decision is more than cosmetic as each faction has distinct abilities and lore, adding depth to the overall gameplay experience.Post-customization, you awaken from your pod and step into the <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Overworld">Illuvium Overworld</a>, the RPG component of the game. A friendly voice serves as your guide, easing you into the game's mechanics.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_start_tutorial_02_8ad8e99f4d.jpg" alt="illuvium-start-tutorial-02.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_start_tutorial_02_8ad8e99f4d.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_start_tutorial_02_8ad8e99f4d.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_start_tutorial_02_8ad8e99f4d.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>The Illuvium Tutorial</h2>The tutorial begins by familiarizing you with the map and its icons. You'll quickly learn to navigate the world and collect resources, which is also the first quest in the game. You don't have to stress over how to find these, though, as a handy feature, activated by pressing Q, highlights important objects, similar to mechanics in games like The Last of Us or the Spider-Man series.To collect materials in Illuvium Overworld, you need to shoot at them and your robot companion then handles the gathering.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_start_tutorial_03_53a2bd4b78.jpg" alt="illuvium-start-tutorial-03.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_start_tutorial_03_53a2bd4b78.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_start_tutorial_03_53a2bd4b78.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_start_tutorial_03_53a2bd4b78.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>Action Time</h2>Next comes the exciting part - catching your first Illuvial, the wild creatures inhabiting this world. A word of caution: these creatures are skittish and will flee if they hear you approach. For best results, take a guaranteed shot from a distance to damage them before closing in.After catching an Illuvial, you'll encounter a portal that transports you to the Illuvium Auto-Battle Arena. Here, you'll face off against the Illuvial you just chased. Don't be discouraged if you're defeated in your first battle. It's part of the learning process.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_start_tutorial_04_e14ef304bb.jpg" alt="illuvium-start-tutorial-04.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_start_tutorial_04_e14ef304bb.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_start_tutorial_04_e14ef304bb.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_start_tutorial_04_e14ef304bb.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>Arts, Crafts, and Revenge</h2>The tutorial then guides you through crafting your first weapon in Sanctum Mesa. Armed with your new weapon, you'll return to hunting Illuvials. If you still struggle while closing in on Illuvials, I'd strongly recommend jumping in the air before aiming. When you aim down sight while flying, the time slows down, making it easier to shoot targets.This second encounter with an Illuvial once again takes you to the Arena. This will be different from the first time, as you'll have plenty of resources to turn the tides around for an assured victory. After defeating an Illuvial in the Arena, you'll learn to capture it using Cured Shards, a process reminiscent of catching Pokémon. Successfully capturing an Illuvial adds them to your arsenal, and there are also fireworks to celebrate the occasion.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_start_tutorial_05_d42f1e942b.jpg" alt="illuvium-start-tutorial-05.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_start_tutorial_05_d42f1e942b.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_start_tutorial_05_d42f1e942b.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_start_tutorial_05_d42f1e942b.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h2>Ending the Illuvium Tutorial</h2>As the tutorial concludes, you'll select a robot buddy to assist in your adventures. Each companion offers unique abilities - I chose HILD3 for its Illuvial-locking capability. With the basics mastered, you're free to explore. You can test your skills in the Battle Simulator, engage in competitive matches, or return to the Overworld to capture over 150 Illuvials in diverse locations like the Crimson Waste or Abyssal Basin and then use them in the <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-arena">Illuvium Arena</a>.<figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_start_tutorial_07_cfa2b3ff6e.jpg" alt="illuvium-start-tutorial-07.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_start_tutorial_07_cfa2b3ff6e.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_start_tutorial_07_cfa2b3ff6e.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_start_tutorial_07_cfa2b3ff6e.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>
