Illuvium, a developer of blockchain games, has successfully raised $12 million in a Series A funding round to strengthen support for its upcoming titles within its interoperable gaming ecosystem.
The round was led by King River Capital, Arrington Capital, Animoca Capital, and Spartan, with additional participation from GoldenChain, Arca, Seven Capital, P2 Ventures, and others. This investment brings the total funding for the company to $60 million to date.
Three games, one universe
Illuvium is creating “the world’s first interoperable blockchain game universe” with plans to launch an autobattler, an open-world creature collector, and a city builder named Illumium Arena, Illumium Overworld, and Illumium Zero, respectively.
While Arena and Overworld are designed for PC, Illumium Zero is a cross-platform title also available on Android. The game is currently in an alpha state for “landholders” – players who purchase in-game land and acquire ownership of NFT “fuel,” an essential resource across all three games to promote trade.
Illuvium Overworld is a creature collector game that the studio has compared to Pocket Pair’s popular title PalWorld, featuring hundreds of Illuvials to discover, capture, and collect.
Unlike Palworld, Overworld also includes NFTs that offer a sense of investment and ownership, sharing compatible resources with Illuvium’s companion city builder.
Over one million individuals have registered for Illuvium’s games thus far.
