What is Illuvium (ILV)?
Illuvium is a free-to-play game with an auto-battler mode that wants to be the first triple A game to come out on the blockchain. It is a decentralized game based on collectible NFTs, which can bring a lot of potential to the game economy. In addition, it has an ambitious roadmap and huge milestones for the development team.
Judging from the look of the game, it's going to be a cross between open-world RPGs and Pokémon.
It will be released as an open beta this December 2021 on the Immutable X network. Something that will significantly increase performance for gamers.
Immutable X Highlights
Immutable X, is a Layer 2 scaling solution for NFTs on Ethereum. Which has instant commercial confirmation and has a scalable model of more than 9,000 operations per second, all of which, although it may seem incredible, without any type of gas fee.
The idea of developing this protocol is to promote the adoption of projects based on NFT technology, taking advantage of the security implications of the Ethereum network, without compromising the security of user custody, thereby helping: Developers, creators and players, to reinvent the concept of value in a digital ecosystem.
The protocol is based on StarkWare testing technology. This allows users to retain access to the Ethereum ecosystem and its network.

What is the history of the game?
The Illuvium player, assumes the role of survivor of a space transport ship that, investigating the call of a distress beacon, discovers a planet in ruins. Just as the ship was trying to land on the planet, a burst of radiation to the ship's engines causing it to crash into the planet's surface.
After starting the exploration of the planet. We meet some beings called Illuvials, with whom we will have to interact within the game.
What or who are the Illuvials?
The Illuvials are the inhabitants of the planet Illuvium, they have a series of differentiated characteristics and have the ability to use a special energy that contacts the elements. That makes them have powers.
Fortunately within the game, the player has at his disposal a technology with which he can control that same energy, which he uses to capture these beings.
Captured Illuvials have various uses within the game's economy.
The first is that you can use them to capture other Illuvials. You can sell them in exchange for Ethereum. They can be used to fight in the arenas and last but not least. They can be merged to level up the Illuvials that we have the same.
To level up an Illuvial, we will need three equal Illuvials of a lower level. With this process we get a rarer Illuvial with greater potency thus increasing its economic value.
It should be noted that these beings, according to the creative team of the project, are based on animals that are already extinct or in danger of extinction.
Illuvials are backed by NFT technology which provides a mechanism that increases its rarity each time one is caught. In fact, the first generations will almost completely disappear in a short space of time.
It is very likely that those first Illuvials that can initially be purchased for $ 2. In a year or two we can see them for sale for $ 200.
There are going to be Illuvials that are rare and hard to come by. In addition, you will have to get 9 of them to be able to craft the evolutions and get another that will already be the last evolution. If above, we have one of those holographic. There are going to be Illuvials that are going to trade for thousands and thousands of dollars.
What are we going to find in the Illuvium game?
Illuvium is a planet divided into 8 regions. Each region has a different difficulty in which we can find Illuvials and Items of different types.
The player will be able to access the initial region of the game for free, in it they will find certain Illuvials that will be very easy to get.
We will be able to use the Illuvials to battle against other Illuvials or we can also use them to capture other Illuvials
If you want to get to generate higher income, the player must move to the other 7 available regions where they can find Illuvials with greater power and also greater rarity.
Illuvium (ILV) governance token
The Illuvium (ILV) is its own governance token that is only used for the DAO. Elections are held every three months in the council of Illuvium and a few days ago the new members were elected. There are always people from the community applying to belong to it and all those who belong to the community and have (SIL) in Staking can access the voting.
The Illuvium (SIL) has no use within the game's economy. The only currency accepted within the game is Ethereum, which when used within the Immutable x network will be exempt from commissions. The only thing that is believed to have commissions will be the deposit and withdrawal of assets.
Price and evolution of Illuvium (ILV)
The game governance token Illuvium (ILV) went on sale in March 2021. Its launch price was around $ 72 and since then it has been climbing through the charts to the $ 1,100 listed. nowadays. An increase of just over 1,500%.

Conclusions
Several things make us think that this game will have no limits, since it has all the ingredients to become a success.
1st Enter Playing the game is completely free and the entry barrier is relatively low. Although we have talked about a triple A game. The minimum hardware requirements to be able to play seem to be at the height of all pockets. In addition, it provides the possibility to earn money.
2nd The team plans that, around 4Q 2021, Illuvium will be playable on mobile devices. This will make the number of users within the game grow organically, increasing the potential of the game exponentially.
In principle, the only negative would be in relation to the price of Ethereum gas. It will be necessary to see how it evolves with Ethereum (2.0) or if the game is well leveraged on an L2.
