On today’s episode of “Empire,” Santiago Roel Santos is joined by Kieran Warwick, co-founder of Illuvium. Illuvium is an open world, collector and auto-battler game with high-resolution graphics and dynamic gameplay mechanics. Illuvium focuses on bringing both entertainment and earning into the core gameplay. It might just be the Pokémon of Web3.

Santiago and Kieran discuss the inspiration behind Illuvium, how to build a AAA studio-level game, how NFTs empower gameplay and the key to Illuvium’s success.

Plus, hear more on:

  • Scarcity vs. utility
  • NFT interoperability
  • Building crypto communities
  • And so much more!
