Illuvium's Epic Games Store listing propels game's popularity and value
Blockchain-based game Illuvium is set to reach a wider audience as it prepares to launch on the Epic Games Store, joining popular titles like Fortnite. Illuvium has evolved to meet the legal and compatibility requirements of the platform, offering three different game genres within its universe. The game aims to attract a mainstream audience by removing the need for wallets and offering a free-to-play experience. The slow adoption of blockchain games by non-Web3 native gamers is attributed to the barrier to entry and the perception of pay-to-win mechanics. Illuvium's listing on the Epic Games Store is seen as a significant milestone for the blockchain gaming industry.
