The first private beta for Illuvium Overworld launches on December 12th. With world exploration, resource gathering, battle encounters, and Illuvial capturing, this private beta should give players a chance to test all of the main aspects of the game.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

While the Illuvium team has pushed out an earlier beta for their arena fighting game, and released some details about Illuvium: Zero, their land-based game, Illuvium: Overworld is what most Illuvium fans have been waiting for. And now, the first taste is finally arriving!<\/p>\n

Overworld Private Beta Info<\/h2>\n

Supposedly, anyone who already has access to the Illuvium Arena Private Beta (known as PB2 in Illuvium circles), will also have access to the Overworld Private Beta. Scheduled to begin on December 12th, at 1pm CST, those who are in the initial wave of invites should already have an email with details on accessing the beta.<\/p>\n

lluvium: Overworld is considered the main game in the Illuvium portfolio. This is where players will explore the world, find resources, and hunt for wild Illuvials to capture. Capturing an Illuvial requires both defeating it in battle, and having the right kind\/number of Shards on hand to bind it.<\/p>\n

Players can mine Shards in-game, but must pay to have them cured (activated). Only Cured Shards can be used to capture Illuvials. Illuvials (and Shards) range from Tier 0 to Tier 5, with Tier 5 being the rarest and hardest to find.<\/p>\n

As with most alphas and betas, don\u2019t expect to keep any items, resources, Illuvials, or experience you earn during this private beta. Everything will be wiped before the open beta beginsThe Illuvium team hasn\u2019t specifically mentioned any special rewards for this beta. But, it\u2019s not unusual for games teams to hand out cosmetic items or special titles for their early testers.<\/p>\n
