Illuvium Land Sale Powered By Immutable X Sells Out And Becomes One Of The Most Successful NFT sales In History With $72 Million In Land Sold

The Highly-Anticipated Illuvium Land Sale, sold out 20,000 land plots during the 72-hour launch event on Immutable X

Immutable X the leading Layer 2 (L2) Ethereum scaling solution for NFTs powered by StarkWare 's zero-knowledge rollup technology, today reported the launch results of Illuvium 's highly-anticipated June 2 Universe Land Sale selling out 20,000 land plots valued at $72 million during the 72-hour launch event, making it one of the most successful NFT sales of all time. This initial sale represents merely the first 20% of available land on Illuvium, with the remaining 80% to be released in the future and sold via Immutable X.

The Layer 1 ETH smart contract sale was run as a dutch auction, allowing the community to determine fair value; the average sale price was $3,615 ; with the lowest sale price being $567 and the top sale fetching $133,283 .

In comparison to other gaming-focused sales, Illuvium's Universe Land Sale, powered by Immutable X, generated 70x the value in USD (5x in ETH) of Axie Infinity's land sales in 2019 and 2020 combined, 20x the value of Splinterlands' land sale in 2021, and 10x of NetVRK's primary land sale. Further, Illuvium land sold more in this primary sale than most web3 games in all-time trading volume, including Alien Worlds, TreeVerse, TownStar, Voxels, World Wide Webb (land) and RaidParty.

By partnering with Immutable X as its exclusive protocol of choice, Illuvium delivers the next generation of blockchain gaming: a AAA game with true digital ownership, leveraging Immutable X's gas-free minting with near-instant and carbon-neutral transactions on L2.

"Immutable is the partner you want when that big moment hits," said Andrew Wall , Head of Marketing, Illuvium. "Our land sale launch went off without a hitch, and Illuvium land owners have been unanimous in their praise for Immutable's smooth minting process. Press the button, and it's minted - it's that simple."

"Our partnership with Immutable was an instrumental component in our successful land sale." said John Avery , CTO, Illuvium."  Their Immutable X platform enabled gas-free minting and provided  the APIs we use to drive our own marketplace experience. The Immutable X platform's performance was rock solid throughout the land sale. Working with Immutable was an equally smooth experience: they made themselves immediately available through a number of support channels, provided quick and accurate answers to our questions, and assisted us with timely operational support during both development and release. Immutable was also able to provide deep technical insight into Immutable X, and the blockchain as a whole, and they worked with us at the design level to ensure we took best advantage of their system. The results speak for themselves."

"We are beyond thrilled by the results of this monumental launch with Illuvium, being one of the most successful in history." Said Robbie Ferguson , co-founder of Immutable. "Achieving $72M in land sales is a testament to the incredible games that Illuvium is building - some of the first triple-A content in web3 - and the liquidity of Immutable X. Illuvium has an incredible shot of being the first major break-out gaming hit with hundreds of millions of players, and we're thrilled Immutable X can help enable that vision."

Illuvium is an open-world exploration, monster collector, and auto battler game, released on PC and Mac earlier this year. By building on the Ethereum blockchain, Illuvium brings its players a level of true ownership and interoperability of their digital assets never before possible in mainstream gaming.

Land in Illuvium allows owners to extract fuel, a critical element for catching and upgrading Illuvials, by building a virtual industrial complex in Illuvium Zero - the desktop and mobile partner game to Illuvium. There will be a total of 100,000 plots in the Ecosystem. The first 20,000 are now sold and minted with zero gas fees on Immutable X. As all in-game assets are blockchain tokens on Immutable X, players will also be able to sell fuel or other items on the IlluviDex marketplace shortly, rewarding them for their effort and investment.

The campaign, called Fake (Br)it Till You Make It , highlights the richness of Britain's regional diversity. A new online game on VisitBritain's consumer website uses machine learning, testing players as they have a go at mastering a variety of accents from across Britain , and then sharing links with destination information to drive bookings. Participants in the game are encouraged to share their results on social media and challenge their friends using the hashtag #FakeBritChallenge.

The multi-media marketing campaign uses a mix of on- and-offline channels including content across social media, influencers, custom content partners, digital display and audio advertising, driving online traffic to
a landing page on VisitBritain.com with ideas and links to activities, attractions and experiences. Branded content features a variety of local phrases alongside destination images, and a series of short films sees Brits sharing a warm welcome in local accents and dialects promoting their destinations, encouraging visitors to come and explore for themselves.

VisitBritain Executive Vice President, The Americas, Australia and New Zealand Paul Gauger said:

"Our priority is to harness the strong recovery and growth we have seen from Canada , and we are delighted to be running this dedicated and playful campaign, tapping into motivations to travel right now.

"This innovative game puts Britain's diversity front and centre, using modern technology to engage players, tell the story of our dynamic destinations and inspire Canadian visitors to discover more, stay longer and explore year-round."

The international GREAT Britain marketing campaign invites visitors to 'See Things Differently', showcasing Britain as a dynamic, diverse and exciting destination, packed full of activities to come and enjoy now, with a warm British welcome at its heart.

The campaign will also capture major events in 2023 including the Coronation of King Charles III and Liverpool hosting the Eurovision Song Contest , on behalf of Ukraine , both taking place in May, valuable opportunities to show Britain's welcome, creativity and ability to host events of the highest calibre.

The 'Fake (Br)it Till You Make It' campaign has been developed to play on the idea of shared language between Canada and Britain . VisitBritain's research shows that feelings of welcome and connection are top motivators for Canadian travellers in choosing a holiday destination, and the campaign builds on existing cultural ties by inviting visitors to learn more about the accents they have heard through British film and TV and by highlighting the personal connections and fun, unexpected experiences to be found on their next trip to Britain .

VisitBritain's 'See Things Differently' campaign is part of the UK Government's GREAT campaign .

Hadean to lead on gaming metaverse initiatives as Mythos Foundation Committee Chair

Award-winning metaverse startup, Hadean, is set to be one of five subcommittee chairs of the Mythos Foundation, the initiative aimed at decentralising and promoting Web3 gaming and esports projects. The company will spearhead funding and development for metaverse technologies and prototypes and help reduce barriers-to-entry for game developers.

Hadean To Lead Mythos Foundation Gaming Metaverse Initiatives

As the gaming industry moves to embrace a metaverse-ready mindset, Hadean is working with Mythical Games and the members of the Mythos Foundation to accelerate the development of cross-chain infrastructure that will allow deep integration of gaming communities and true interoperability between virtual worlds, leading to the seamless intersection of different games on-demand and in a single user experience.

With Mythical Games at the helm, the Mythos decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) aims to give gamers and developers a seat at the table and stir strategic projects to escalate the expansion of the Mythos ecosystem.

Subcommittee chairs will serve a one-year term and have been elected by token holders of the Mythos Token (MYTH), the fixed supply utility token used as the basis of a decentralised economy where anyone is empowered to participate and have a say.

Craig Beddis , Hadean CEO, said: "It is a great privilege for Hadean to be recognised as a leader at the bleeding edge of metaverse technology development by the Mythos ecosystem and to be appointed chair of the Foundation's subcommittee alongside other gaming industry heavy-hitters. The Mythos vision for a democratised gaming ecosystem is in perfect sync with our view of a decentralised metaverse, where gamers, developers and creators are able to actively participate in the value chain, and we look forward to playing our role in supporting this group of trailblazing industry partners."

John Linden , Mythical Games CEO said: "At the core of the Mythos Foundation is the belief that the next iteration of video games will be democratized to allow developers and players to actively participate in game economies through the Mythos ecosystem. With their heavy focus on delivering metaverse network technology, Hadean is championing this cause by providing the next generation of virtual worlds. I'm excited to see them help lead new technology initiatives as a subcommittee chair of the Mythos Foundation."
