Illuvium Overworld v0.2.0 Patch Notes

Introduction

Hello everyone, the Illuvium team is excited to share with you what we’ve been working on for the past few months. This patch features massive updates to the Overworld and is combined with the Arena changes. You can find the patch notes for the Arena HERE. 

Private Beta v0.2.0 Access

All players who had PB1 access will automatically gain access to OV-PB0.20. Please note that you must log in to your Illuvium account and download an entirely new game version. After downloading OV-PB0.2, you should delete your old game file folder.

If you cannot access Private Beta yet, apply through our website.

So with that, on to the patch notes!

Overview

• 2 New regions: Abyssal Basin and Brightland Steppes.

• Overworld Overload

• Interactive plants

• New Movement Mechanics

• UX Improvements

• Server Integration

• Morphopods

Regions

Brightland Steppes, is a vast grassland, dominated by gigantic rock spires elevated and supported by giant roots. Powerful winds, rich nature and Earth define this region. 

Abyssal Basin, is a fetid and unforgiving swamp ruled over by gigantic Titanicus Mushrooms.  Acidic waterfalls feed rivers and streams creating difficult terrain. Water, Nature and Earth dominate this region. 

Overworld Overload

As players utilise their drone's energy, it triggers instability within the obelisk, leading to a dramatic collapse of the region's barrier. This sets players against the clock, forcing them to secure their loot before the area becomes too treacherous to navigate.

Interactive plants

Plants are now more interactive. You can watch them sway in the wind, but sadly we expect you’ll probably jump and shoot them. Thugs and savages! 

New Movement Mechanics

The player's baseline suit has had some upgrades. It now comes with 331% more fun, pressing Control whilst on the ground will cause you to Slide, and pressing Control whilst in the air will trigger your Wingsuit.

Server Integration

The server now stores most game information. This is a large step towards Open beta, but for the time being the biggest change is that players can now reconnect to an in-progress travel even if they quit the game. 

Morphopods

Whilst travelling through a Region, you may stumble across Morphopods. These are present to add more life and interest to the Regions and can be caught.
