‘Illuvium Beyond’ Ethereum Game Reveals Collaboration with Casio G-Shock

Illuvium Beyond is not to be confused with the other three Iluvium games launched this year. This is branded as a collectible card game with a leaderboard that tracks the point value of the top 100 players’ card collections, and is available to play on the Illuvium site.

This G-Shock collaboration comes as part of the third wave of NFT cards released for Illuvium Beyond. It features six characters (called Illuvitars) from the game who have been “reimagined” and wearing G-Shock gear. For example, the mystical monkey character Aapon is equipped with body armor that looks like what you would expect from the watch line.

Each G-Shock Illuvitar will feature one of three backgrounds and will be available as holographic and non-holographic digital cards. This creates 108 possible variations.

The collection will be on sale from December 9 to December 22 and can be purchased in the form of a $35 “D1SK” NFT pronounced disc. If someone purchases 20 or more D1SKs, they will be rewarded with an exclusive physical Illuvium G-Shock watch.

More details about the collection will be announced on December 5.

Illuvium Beyond launched in 2023, and unlike the other games in the franchise, it’s more of a collection-based affair than a full-fledged game. It’s all about how many NFT cards you acquire, how rare they are, and how many you can fill your virtual booklets with.

Previously, Illuvium Beyond partnered with video game retailer GameStop and esports organization Team Liquid to release branded cards.

When this collecting experience first launched, the main Illuvium games had not yet been released. But earlier this year, the long-awaited games hit the (digital) shelves. Built on the Ethereum scaling network Immutable

For example, the open-world survival game Illuvium: Overworld requires the gamer to gather resources to repair his spaceship. In Overworld you can also capture the mythical creatures called Illuvials, which you can then use in the strategic auto-battler Illuvium: Arena.

In the final game, the city builder Illuvium: Zero, your goal is to develop land and the civilization on it. This is all in an attempt to reconnect with the wrecked ship in Overworld – and thus the loop is completed.

The launch of a trio of titles as a core experience for the IP has been in the offing for years, after first raising funding in the fourth quarter of 2020, according to the official roadmap. Illuvium’s games are playable on PC and Mac via the Epic Games Store.
