“Illuvium: Zero is one of the three pillars of the Illuvium Universe, and players will quickly see the utility of owning Illuvium Land. We can’t wait to see the gameplay strategies that develop as we continue to create the metagame amongst all Illuvium titles,โ€ Illuvium co-founder and Chief Gaming Officer (CGO) Aaron Warwick said in a statement.

According to Illuvium’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) John Avery, who is also the gaming lead on Illuvium: Zero alpha, he is confident that players of casual mobile games will enjoy the simple yet intricate gameplay of Zero and the ability to influence the in-game pricing of Illuvium’s other games.

“One of the unique aspects of Illuvium Zero is the deep interaction between the in-game economy and real-world markets. Players can use their in-game industrial complex to create and transform ERC-20 tokens, which leads to interesting possibilities. For example, you can use your in-game factories to convert one token to another to take advantage of small market differences (arbitrage),” he stated.

For Zero, players will be able to benefit from the pre-release games; Land Owners can collect Blueprints, which are required to produce Skins used by Rangers and Drones in the Illuvium Universe.

And when asked about utilizing non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in their games, Warwick expressed that Illuvium’s goal is to change the negative connotation of these assets.

“We’re built on a carbon-neutral platform Immutable X, which removes the environmental pushback. We’re also building our Universe with the gamers in mind, which means we care about the experience, not the ability to earn; if players do earn inside our Universe, consider it a bonus,” he explained.
