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.

<p>Illuvium held a&nbsp;development-focussed town hall on X (formerly Twitter) on October 7. The developers provided detailed updates on Overworld's transformation into an Illuvium's MMO Lite, which will include fundamental changes to combat, movement, and progression systems.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Illuvium MMO: Skill Tree System Reveal &amp; October Roadmap <a href="https://t.co/yKMevM1tRm">https://t.co/yKMevM1tRm</a></p>— Illuvium (@illuviumio) <a href="https://twitter.com/illuviumio/status/1975640346941100292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><p>At its core, the new <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Overworld">Illuvium Overworld</a> experience will have three pillars: "creature capture, ARPG, <a href="https://www.funjible.games/news/illuvium-overworld-pivots-to-an-mmo-lite">MMO Lite</a>". The team noted that player counts per environment won't reach traditional MMO scales of thousands. However, Illuvium Overworld will still feel expansive and populated.</p><p>Another key highlight of the new design was the vertical progression system. This will have Illuvium Overworld move away from seasonal resets common in games like World of Warcraft. The game will support permanent progressions, which also aligns more closely with the blockchain philosophy behind it.</p><p>Illuvium's community will remain at the center of the game's design, while the economy will focus more on value transfer. The developers are looking to do a better job of making it clear what is valuable in Illuvium Overworld and how the value transition helps players participate in the in-game economy.</p><div class="raw-html-embed">

</div><h2>Combat Systems Get Complete Rework</h2><p>Illuvium Overworld's melee and ranged combat experiences were rebuilt from the ground up. The melee combat system received further polish, while the ranged combat got an entirely new aiming system. Overall, the goal behind these improvements was to maintain the ARPG feel without drifting into first-person shooter territory.</p><p>Illuvials themselves received expanded combat roles through new companion abilities. Illuvials now have broader action toolkits that give players more tactical options. The team acknowledged this area still needs work, particularly in strengthening the connection between Rangers and their Illuvials from both lore and gameplay perspectives.</p><p>Another notable addition is the drone system. Drones now also work as consumables, like health potions. Players can use their drones for health restoration, stat boosts, and other temporary combat buffs.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Some more footage from the MMO.<br><br>A few systems are still running placeholder assets,<br>but you should be getting the picture. <a href="https://t.co/ZMZOj7e781">pic.twitter.com/ZMZOj7e781</a></p>— Kieran.eth (@KieranWarwick) <a href="https://twitter.com/KieranWarwick/status/1976479916750512138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><h2>Slower but a Bigger World</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:72.13%;"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_ecosystem_TPI_2_bfa18c84cc.jpg" alt="Illuvium ecosystem TPI screenshot" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_ecosystem_TPI_2_bfa18c84cc.jpg 226w, https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_ecosystem_TPI_2_bfa18c84cc.jpg 500w" sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The movement mechanics and speed in the new Illuvium Overworld will be noticeably slower. The original Overworld featured massive jumps, but those will be no more.</p><p>Players now start with basic running and jumping mechanics. Double-jumps, slides, and hoverglides will be locked behind progression gates. Illuvium devs believe that slower movement will force players to engage more with content, as most players skipped through everything in the previous iteration of the game.</p><p>While veteran players may miss the mobility, the slower approach will also help with storytelling in the game, as it'll balance the pacing.</p><p>In addition to movement mechanics, there are also changes to items. Items now have increased stat variety, multiple rarity tiers, and upgrade paths. Quest integration has improved substantially, too. The team is building a proper player path that introduces the world's lore, explains the player's situation, and establishes purpose and goals.</p><p>The skill tree system is moving toward a node-based structure where players earn affinity and class points as they level. Gone are the days when all classes could use any weapon in the game.</p><p>Roles will be more determined moving forward, but the flexibility to split points between specializations or commit fully to one path will remain.</p><p>Wrapping up the October 7 Illuvium town hall, the devs marked late October as a critical evaluation period. This milestone will determine whether development continues in the current direction or requires adjustments. Regardless of the outcome, immediate priorities include combat polish, skill tree completion, UI updates across quests and inventories, and additional encounter design.</p><div class="raw-html-embed">

Crypto Gaming Resurrection in 24 Days?! 😱 Illuvium CEO Drops Truth Bombs! Kieran Warwick Interview

<p>The Illuvium ecosystem has experienced a significant resurgence this August. The sudden increase in $ILV token’s value and the positive vibes within the Illuvium ecosystem were driven by a series of high-impact announcements and events that reignited interest in the game.</p><p>The launch of the Illuvium Pro League and the Summer-themed D1SK sale brought the game’s community back together with $ILV token almost tagging the $24 level after bottoming around $9 at the start of the summer.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rangers, the Illuvium Pro League 2025 is HERE! 🏆 $250K prize pool, epic tournaments, and a shot at the Main Event in December!<br><br>🔥 What’s up: IPL 250, 500, &amp; 1000 tournaments kick off August 16.

The tournament kicks off on August 16 with a $250,000 prize pool. There are multiple IPL tournaments in the event, as the developers have been focusing on getting everyone involved in the action.</p><p>The weekly tournaments will serve as chances for players to qualify for a Main Event in December. IPL points from the tournaments and Ranked Ladder Points will be the main factors during the qualification process.</p><h2>Illuvium is Back in Style</h2><p>While announcing such an ambitious tournament captured the attention of both existing and former players, Illuvium hasn’t been skimping out on content. More recently, the game had an ILV Summer Exclusive D1SK Sale, featuring tropical-themed Illuvitars.</p><p>Such events and collections play a vital role in keeping Illuvium active. During this time, Illuvium also wrapped up its Leviathan No Limits tournament. This event showcased that Illuvium’s PvP scene could thrive even without ultra-rare NFTs, signaling how accessible the game’s tournaments are.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We'll keep this momentum going with the announcement of the Illuvium Pro League starting this month, followed by an Arena trailer, and deals with TFT creators to play in the League. <br><br>This is where things get fun.</p>— Kieran.eth (@KieranWarwick) <a href="https://twitter.com/KieranWarwick/status/1952545953782927579?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><p>Illuvium’s co-founder, Kieran Warwick, even shared his plans to organize collaborations that would have Teamfight Tactics content creators participate in the IPL. Such a development can significantly boost Illuvium’s visibility, and we know firsthand how these<a href="https://funjible.games/news/off-the-grid-early-access-wins-over-streamers">&nbsp;streamer campaigns can be a recipe for success from Off the Grid</a>.</p><h2>Why is Illuvium going up?</h2><p>Illuvium’s price went up by 160 percent between June and August 2025. During this time, $ILV outperformed the broader crypto markets, and here’s why that was the case:</p><ul><li>Launch of the Illuvium Pro League: A $250,000 esports circuit</li><li>Exclusive Summer D1SK Drop: Offering a time-limited sale of tropical Illuvitars</li><li>Teased Influencer and Platform Deals: Partnerships with TFT creators and an upcoming<a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-arena">&nbsp;Arena</a> trailer are expected to bring more visibility to the game</li><li><a href="https://www.funjible.games/news/illuvium-overworld-pivots-to-an-mmo-lite">Illuvium MMO</a>’s Upcoming 2025 Demo:<a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Overworld">&nbsp;Illuvium Overworld</a> pivoting to MMO looks to be almost ready to show its results, faster than many anticipated.</li></ul><p>The developments above repositioned Illuvium as a top contender in the GameFi space. This array of positive news also allowed select Web3 gaming projects to also appreciate in price and mindshare, like<a href="https://funjible.games/games/Pixels">&nbsp;Pixels</a> and<a href="https://funjible.games/games/My-Neighbor-Alice">&nbsp;My Neighbor Alice</a>.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/10mQ-TZ_QZM?si=0Lju4ZFyl7he7Vji" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>

Illuvium’s $ILV token nearly triples after major ecosystem push

Illuvium Up 160% Ahead of $250K Pro League Starting Aug 16

<p>Illuvium recently announced a major update to its Trait Purity Indicator (TPI) system. This metric is used to assess the quality of units in Illuvium. The changes aim to align the system directly with <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-arena">Illuvium Arena</a>, the ecosystem's flagship title.</p><p>The updated TPI system simplifies the 16-value calculation system down to a six-trait system. The previous system caused confusion amongst players since there was a chance that units with perfect Arena stats would show less than a 100 percent TPI score or that TPI would show higher than expected to other stats. With the new system in place, a unit with maxed-out Arena traits will now correctly display a 100% TPI score.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">📊 TPI System Update<br>We’re simplifying how the Trait Purity Indicator works—making it more transparent, fairer, and fully aligned with Arena.<br><br>🔧 What’s new:<br>– TPI now uses only the 6 core Arena traits<br>– Perfect Arena stats = 100% TPI<br><br>It’s now easier to understand at a glance,… <a href="https://t.co/8172tuCRk1">https://t.co/8172tuCRk1</a></p>— Illuvium (@illuviumio) <a href="https://twitter.com/illuviumio/status/1912170796547756072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 15, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The simplification update also standardizes TPI across all Illuvium games. The Arena's six-trait baseline could possess some limits regarding flexibility, but the advantages of having a single standard outweigh the potential negatives.</p><p>Illuvium has been focused on simplifying its vast ecosystem in 2025, and there have been other updates in this regard, too. For example, Illuvium <a href="https://funjible.games/news/illuvium-unifies-fuel-system-for-a-smoother-economy">unified its fuel system for a smoother economy</a> while <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-Overworld">Illuvium Overworld</a> is going through a <a href="https://funjible.games/news/illuvium-overworld-restructuring-brings-new-game-directors">restructuring with new game directors</a>. Earlier in 2025, Illuvium decided to <a href="https://www.funjible.games/news/illuvium-overworld-pivots-to-an-mmo-lite">pivot Overworld into an MMO Lite</a>.</p><p>While the Illuvium ecosystem made strides to solve the <a href="https://funjible.games/news/the-interoperability-dilemma-is-crypto-gaming-too-ambitious">interoperability dilemma</a> in Web3 gaming, the ecosystem turned out to be too confusing for new players. Illuvium looks to continue rolling out updates that will aim to stick the ecosystem tighter together.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/illuvium_ecosystem_TPI_1_7d7cda0905.jpg" alt="Illuvium TPI Update" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_illuvium_ecosystem_TPI_1_7d7cda0905.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_illuvium_ecosystem_TPI_1_7d7cda0905.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_illuvium_ecosystem_TPI_1_7d7cda0905.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In addition to existing players, Illuvium also wants to expand its reach. <a href="https://funjible.games/news/illuvium-rewards-return-with-ilv-leaderboards-and-fuel-drops">Illuvium Rewards returned with $ILV leaderboards</a>, which is a decent step toward attracting more attention.</p><h2><strong>An Unexpected Break</strong></h2><p>Crypto gaming, in general, had a relatively successful 2024, but this momentum wasn't carried over into the new year. The ecosystem fell short of the growth expectations, which caused new updates to go unnoticed. While this could seem discouraging from an outsider's standpoint, Web3 games continue to release new updates, and the <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Illuvium-arena/news">latest Illuvium news</a> shows no signs of slowing down.</p><p>When the attention shifts toward GameFi, many games will be ready to capitalize on players' interest with excellent gameplay experiences and solid narratives.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XdP0IIo8cNw?si=sdGTCr0sVAUlTNHl" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
