Illuvium Slashes Wages Again Amid Crypto Gaming Downturn

Illuvium, a crypto gaming studio, has made significant cuts to its staff wages for the second time in an effort to extend its operational runway beyond August 2027. The move follows earlier cuts in 2025 that halved the team size and reduced monthly expenses.

The studio aims to survive the tough blockchain gaming market by focusing on its flagship Overworld MMO and upcoming features like ILV token staking. Despite sector challenges, Illuvium's strong funding and strategic moves may position it for future success if its projects gain traction.
