SQUARE ENIX® is today introducing fresh new challenges to critically acclaimed MMORPG FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online with the arrival of Patch 6.3: “Gods Revel, Lands Tremble.”
The adventures of the Warrior of Light continue in Patch 6.3 with new main scenario quests, while players can also test their strength and skill in a new 8-player trial in both Normal and Extreme difficulties, 24-player alliance raid, dungeon or the new ultimate raid launching in Patch 6.31.
Further details on Patch 6.3 content are available below:
New Main Scenario Quests – In the darkness of the Thirteenth, the Warrior of Light finds an unexpected ally in a half-voidsent woman named Zero. She returns with them to the Source for a time, and upon recovering from their recent trials, they prepare to continue the search for Azdaja. But an unforeseen threat bars their path…
New 24-Player Alliance Raid– Myths of the Realm, Part 2: Euphrosyne – The Twelve, Eorzea’s guardian deities, seek to fulfill their enigmatic aspirations, and for this they claim they must engage in battle with men. Continuing your efforts to uncover the truth, you and your comrades set forth once more for their heavenly abode in the phantom realm… New Dungeon – Lapis Manalis – In pursuit of voidsent, you learn of an abandoned village in the mountains of Garlemald where Garleans once practiced the reaper arts. But what will you find there deep in the heart of the mountain?
New 8-Player Trial(Normal/Extreme) – The search for Azdaja continues─that is, until a powerful new foe steps forward to oppose you…
New Ultimate Raid – The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) (Patch 6.31) – What if Omega’s relentless testing had continued, and provided the elusive answer it sought? The minstrel’s words invite you to imagine this scenario─to entertain the possibility of that which may have been─and follow the experiment to its ultimate conclusion.
New Unreal Trial – Containment Bay P1T6 (Unreal) – As ever, the faux commander craves tales of death-defying derring-do, and in a bid to satisfy him, you cast your mind back to your frenetic encounter with the eikon Sophia. The memory remains vivid even now, and you find yourself facing the Goddess once more, your very survival hanging in the balance…

NUCLEAR SUB – A realistic, nuclear submarine simulator from UBOAT’s publisher announced on Steam! Dive into the unique story of the nuclear submarine crew. The government sends its best armed and best tactically prepared undersea crew to face hostile units in the far depths of the cold North. It seems that everything is already in place that would be needed for success, an excellent crew, and a great ship, the only thing missing is a person who has the tactical sense to handle naval battles.
You need to control the morale of the sailors, manage weapons and food supplies, and constantly check the technical condition of the submarine, especially its nuclear reactor. Will you prove yourself in this role?
Manage basic resources such as indoor oxygen levels and the correct functioning of the nuclear reactor. Monitor the availability of electricity and check if navigation and mechanical systems are working properly. The better the condition of the ship you provide, the happier the sailors will be and the more efficiently they will perform their tasks. Remember to keep morale high, but also don’t forget the realistically represented hierarchy on the submarine directly contributes to maintaining order among the crew.
When going into deep waters with a nuclear submarine, you must remember to control its propulsion. A nuclear reactor requires constant attention and checking of its technical condition. If a malfunction occurs, close off the relevant parts of the ship to cut off damaged or flooded sections.
Explore the oceans of the open world, looking out for enemy units. Complete missions assigned by your superiors and assign tasks to your subordinates. Destroy enemy ships and raise the morale of your crew. A wide range of Cold War missile selections will allow you to win any battle of the many planned scenarios, and an advanced ship damage system will make the gameplay even more realistic.
Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Realmforge Studios are thrilled to announce the official closed beta for Dungeons 4, the highly anticipated next installment to the popular dungeon builder series.
The closed beta will run on the Microsoft Store and Steam from January 24 to February 7, with applications now live for aspiring vindictive villains. A select number of lucky players will join the Absolute Evil, where they will have an exclusive first look at what it takes to destroy the overworld and be rid of those pesky do-gooders. Including a complete single-player campaign, fans of the franchise can get their hands on the game’s newest features, including larger maps and even more corrupt creatures. Feeling despicable? Sign up here. The closed Discord Community Hub will be unlocked for selected participants. Applications close on January 15.
In Dungeons 4, the Absolute Evil’s quest is not yet complete and with Thalya the dark elf sorcerer still by his side, it’s time to continue spreading chaos and destruction – this time with Dwarves. In this impending new addition to the popular dungeon management series, players can control even more despicable creatures in even larger dungeons. Raise a devious army of orcs, succubae, zombies, and other cruel creatures, all ready to cast corruption across the overworld. Then set your Snots to work on creating your very own sprawling underground dungeon network – just be prepared to compete with the invading dwarves who have arrived to claim their share of space and supplies. Take on the 20-mission long, fully narrated campaign, or use two-player co-op multiplayer to double the destruction and manage your dungeon with a fellow evil friend. Did we mention the Dwarves?
Do-gooders and benevolent creatures beware, Dungeons 4 will emerge from the darkness in 2023. The forces of evil will not be stopped and it’s time to continue your diabolical quest for destruction.
Today, Riot Games kicked off the start of Season 2023 in the world’s most popular MOBA with a video that previewed what’s to come in League of Legends and LoL Esports. The event acts as the official beginning of the League of Legends Ranked and tournament season for both everyday and professional players, respectively, and also serves as a moment to update players on upcoming content for the year. The League of Legends team discussed the Ahri ASU (Art and Sustainability Update), the Aurelion Sol CGU (Comprehensive Gameplay Update), the Mid-Year Ranked Reset, the 2023 Champion roadmap, and more. In addition, LoL Esports previously announced a brand new competitive event, Season Kickoff, to celebrate the start of Season 2023, which will begin January 10.
Season 2023 Begins!
The ranked season has officially begun! Make your mark on the new year and your Ranked climb with the Season 2023 Missions and earn the following rewards:

Champions in 2023
Ahri’s ASU is almost here! Look forward to updates on her base, skins, VFX, splashes, and all nine tails.
Players can also look forward to more mid-scope updates to freshen up older champions’ gameplay fantasies and to modernize the roster overall.
Aurelion Sol mains can expect a completely updated ability kit for the Star Forger in his upcoming CGU. For more context on the Aurelion Sol CGU, click here.
League’s Champions team continues to invest in their goals of making a more diverse champion pool that’s inclusive of all cultures, genders, and in-game skill levels for every role. In 2023, players can expect new champions Milio, a male enchanter from Ixtal, and Naafiri, a female midlane Darkin assassin.
Skins in 2023
In 2023, Kalista, Aurelion Sol, Ivern, and Kled will be getting skins!
Skin thematics coming in 2023 include the new Faerie Court skinline and the fan-favorite Cats vs. Dogs skinline.
For the first event of the new year, Lunar Gods and Mythmakers descend upon the Rift. Look forward to the following skins in patch 13.1 and 13.2:
Lunar Empress Ashe
Lunar Guardian Kha’Zix
Lunar Empress Qiyana
Lunar Guardian Malphite
Lunar Emperor Thresh
Mythmaker Galio
Mythmaker Garen
Mythmaker Irelia (Legendary)
Mythmaker Sivir
Mythmaker Zyra
Prestige Mythmaker Sivir
Prestige Porcelain Lissandra
Ranked in 2023
Starting this year, the two Ranked Splits will have a Ranked Reset in between, with rewards to match, in an effort to bring League up to modern-day expectations and to address pain points around the stress of avoiding decay or demotion in the middle of the year.
Ranked Reset: When Split 2 of the Ranked season starts, the reset will not be as heavy as the one in January given that the game won’t change dramatically enough to warrant making players re-earn their rank to the same extent. The Mid-Year Reset will also be even less significant if a player hasn’t played many games since January.
Rewards: Players can now earn full ranked rewards each Ranked Split, including icons & emotes, Ranked borders, and a Ranked skin. This means there will be two skins for Ranked this year, as well as some extra rewards for the climb.
In addition to this, players will no longer have to reach the Gold rank requirement to earn a Ranked skin and can instead, earn it based on a rank-dependent number of Ranked games played.
Chromas will still be granted based on your final rank at the end of the Split.
Season Kickoff Event
From January 10-11, the LCS, LEC, LCK, LPL, LJL, CBLOL, LLA, PCS, and VCS will host a special two-day broadcasted event previewing the 2023 season and highlighting the players to watch this year, giving fans a first look at Season 2023 on the Rift, and a peek at what’s in store for LoL Esports in 2023.
All pro teams in each of the nine leagues will send players to compete in the Kickoff event. It’s up to each region to determine how teams are drafted, so you might see different methods in the LCS versus the PCS. The games will be best-of-3’s on Summoner’s Rift with no champion bans or repeats. Each of the pro teams represented on the winning team will be able to create an emote with our designers to be added into League of Legends
The Kickoff event will replace the League of Legends All-Star Event. While All-Stars has provided players and fans with countless special moments over the years, the current calendar can be challenging for many All-Star players. Replacing All-Stars with the Season Kickoff event provides a much-deserved break for pro players and an exciting new platform for fans that will supplement the end-of-year local competitions and celebrations that regions typically hold during this period.
Social Impact Challenge
To celebrate all the changes coming to the jungle, League of Legends is holding a special social impact challenge for players around the world. For every 100 Season 2023 in-game missions players complete by January 24th, Riot Games will contribute $1 to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, a donor advised fund account sponsored by ImpactAssets, to support environmental conservation efforts, up to $1M total.

Some say a picture is worth a thousand words, and a small and portable photo printer is a fun, easy – and straight-up cool – way to bring your unique and unforgettable moments to life. To help creators share and save memories with family and friends, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the new version of the IVY Mini Photo Printer – the IVY 2. The IVY 2 is an upgrade from its predecessor; delivering higher quality pictures, a faster charging battery and better connectivity, enabling DIY creators to “Print, Peel, Stick and Go” with even more personal, customized creative expression.
IVY creators quickly and easily print photos of family, friends, pets or any other source of inspiration from their compatible smartphone1 onto sticky photo paper and add them to a scrapbook, a laptop, or virtually anywhere you can think of, all with a compact printer that fits easily in a small purse, or even your pocket. Plus, a new, expanded 100-sheet photo sticker paper pack (purchased separately) frees up everyday IVY users to continually update their self-expression without the continued worry of running out of sheets.
“Our Canon customers continually motivate us to focus on enhancing daily experiences and preserving important memories, whether they are using Canon products for the first time or they have been with us since the beginning,” said Isao “Sammy” Kobayashi, senior vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A., Inc. “As a Canon leader, the IVY product line is personal for me, as we are frequently finding our product’s user-base is new to the brand, and so I am very excited for our team to bring you our new IVY 2 Mini Photo Printer with enhanced picture quality and improved user experience.”
For the kid at home, as well as the “older kid” at school, taking pictures from their compatible smartphone or tablet1, and who enjoys decorating and sharing stickers with friends, this second generation of the IVY Mini Photo Printer is a perfect tool. You can “print, peel, stick, go” – peeling off the back of the printed photo and sticking the picture to personal belongings, your journal, or adding it to a scrapbook with favorite photos. Parents can make great use of the IVY 2 too, printing pictures to add to a photo album, their fridge, and other creative spaces.
The IVY 2 can easily fit in your pocket or bag, making it convenient to carry place to place. The printer is available in two colors – pure white and blush pink. It takes just a few minutes to set up, and the multi-color LED will clearly tell you the printer status. Using a compatible USB cable, the printer can fully charge in as little as 45 minutes2. The IVY 2 easily connects to your compatible smartphone with Bluetooth®, and utilizes ZINK Zero Ink™ Technology from ZINK™, an amazing way to print in full color without the need for ink cartridges. ZINK paper is available in pre-cut circle sticker form (purchased separately), for those whose lives can’t be confined to straight edges.
To set and send print jobs, users download the free Canon Mini Printer App¹, which offers the option to print individual smudge-free 2×3 prints or stickers. From selfies to sunsets, this feature offers the freedom of expression for a wide variety of consumers. The app includes creative filters, such as photo frames and stickers, image collage templates, as well as additional photo-editing tools including added text, fun frames and the option to draw.
Price and Availability
The Canon IVY 2 Mini Photo Printer will be available this October, with a pre-order available now, through select major retailers and Canon USA’s site here. The estimated retail price is $129.99*, which includes the printer and a starter pack of 10 sheets of 2×3 photo paper. The Canon ZINK Photo Paper Pack will also be available for the first time with 100 sheets later this year.
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, pushed innovation to new heights in 2022. At CES 2023, the company will demonstrate how its technology is working to help dissolve limits between real and virtual worlds through a first-of-its-kind immersive movie experience that will place attendees inside of the story. With the launch of the theme ‘Limitless Is More,’ and Canon’s latest imaging innovations, CES attendees will be able to fully immerse themselves into M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming Universal Pictures thriller, Knock at the Cabin (in theaters February 3). Canon will prove how its solutions can remove the limits humanity faces to create more meaningful communication, more powerful collaboration, more exciting perspectives, and more boundless imagination across four unique technologies.
“Canon is creating groundbreaking solutions that help people connect in more ways than we ever could have imagined, redefining how they work and live at a time when many of them are embracing a hybrid lifestyle,’’ said Kazuto Ogawa, President and CEO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Canon’s ultimate role is to bring people closer together by revealing endless opportunities for creators. Under our theme of ‘Limitless Is More,’ we will show CES 2023 attendees what we are creating as a company focused on innovation and a world without limits.”
The corporate philosophy of Kyosei, the principle defined as “all people, regardless of race, religion, or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future for the good of society,” is threaded through all of Canon’s technologies, services and people. With Kyosei as the driving force, Canon’s immersive experience and featured technologies at CES 2023 will show attendees how the company looks to contribute to society and have a positive impact.
Limitless Communication: Kokomo
Kokomo is a first of its kind immersive virtual reality software^, designed to change human communication by combining virtual reality with an immersive calling experience. The innovative software is designed to provide users with a way to meet friends and family virtually “in-person” by using a compatible VR headset and a compatible smart phone. The Kokomo solution will allow users to see and hear one another in real time with their live appearance and expression, in a photo-real environment.
The Kokomo solution is being designed so that people can feel together and experience social interaction from their home, hotel, dorm room or across other distances if there is a compatible headset, the software and an internet connection. The Kokomo solution will work to fully mirror true physical appearance – even facial expressions – inside what is effectively a 3D video call. At the Canon booth, visitors will be able to put on a VR headset and step into a 1:1 Kokomo conversation with one of four characters from Knock at the Cabin.
Limitless Perspectives: Free Viewpoint
The revolutionary Free Viewpoint Video System for arenas, stadiums, and studios comprises more than 100 Canon Cinema EOS-based 4k cameras and lenses. The data captured from the cameras is sent to a server system that creates point-cloud based 3D models that quickly reproduce various viewpoints or desired camera angles, like that from a drone, swooping in and around players, or a small POV camera, looking at actors in a commercial or music video shoot. The result is an immersive and customizable viewing experience from perspectives that may not be possible with traditional camera systems.
In the USA, the system has been installed at two NBA arenas including Rocket Mortgage Field House in Cleveland (Cavaliers), as well as Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York (Nets). The video can be broadcast out live and also compiled into replay clips. The system also allows for extensive flexibility with virtual advertising and other opportunities for monetization.
CES attendees will be able to view an action scene from Knock at the Cabin from multiple perspectives as captured by the Free Viewpoint Video System, supervised by M. Night Shyamalan and shot at Canon’s Volumetric Video Studio in Kawasaki, Japan. Viewing the scene from multiple viewpoints allows for different perspectives to be uncovered as attendees watch through the “eyes” of the various characters. Booth visitors will experience a new meaning to the term “best seats in the house.”
Limitless Imagination: MREAL
MREAL, a mixed reality experience, utilizes Canon imaging technology to integrate real and virtual worlds, showing end-users what this type of integration can do for industry, education, medicine, entertainment, and more. MREAL is unlike anything Canon has ever developed, a premium visualizer/simulator that helps account for limits of scale, perception, analysis, and participation, and provides superb, almost life like image clarity and color accuracy.
The MREAL technology is currently in the market research phase in the USA, but an example of the technology can be seen in the Canon CES booth. Visitors to the booth will be able to experience a break-in scene from the movie Knock at the Cabin as if they are a character in the movie. A gamified experience gives CES attendees the ability to immerse themselves in the movie’s action. Users can interact with virtual furniture and other objects in order to barricade themselves inside the cabin and successfully keep intruders out.
Limitless Collaboration: AMLOS (Activate My Line of Sight)
The AMLOS (Activate My Line of Sight) solution* was developed by Canon U.S.A. to help amplify how people see and interact in hybrid meeting environments. The AMLOS solution is a software-and-camera product suite designed to provide an amazing level of engagement for collaboration across multiple meeting locations. The advanced software-and-camera product suite features sophisticated PTZ (pan, tilt, and zoom) camera functionality guided by hand gesture controls for certain actions for in-person participants. Remote users are given the flexibility to customize their viewing experience and to see objects or areas of the in-person space. This allows both in-person and remote participants to engage in meetings or collaborative discussions, with an intuitive experience with hand gesture controls for certain actions for in-person participants, and a user interface that can be customized by a remote participant to help promote collaboration.
Using AMLOS, CES attendees will connect with a stranger on the actual set of Knock at the Cabin located in Philadelphia. They will work together to investigate the aftermath of events from the movie while creating their own stories on what could have happened in the cabin. Canon worked with M. Night Shyamalan to develop clues that will be placed throughout the space for participants to discover, varying from handwritten notes to broken furniture and more, adding to the mystery of the movie’s events.
