Infinity Kingdom to Start Open Beta in Japan on January 25th
Infinity Kingdom, YOOZOO Games’ self-developed cartoon-style strategy mobile game, will start its open beta in Japan on January 25th, available for download on Android and iOS.
Set on the legendary continent of Norheim, players have to defend against invasion from the evil gnomes. While expanding their own cities, players must team up and protect their territories from other players.
Inspired by famous historical figures, the concept of Immortals is introduced in Infinity Kingdom. As commanders of the troops, Immortals have special skills and can be leveled up to increase their power.
After its initial launch in January, 2021, Infinity Kingdom was listed among the top 10 best-selling strategy game in more than 30 countries in Europe and the US. Now the game will be available in Japan soon, bringing OB event, new version update and new Immortal!
OB Event: Revival of Cities
The kingdom is suffering, it’s time to protect the people. Together with Japanese lords, unite as one to rebuild the kingdom.
With Infinity Kingdom‘s launch in Japan, a new event, Revival of Cities will be online in the OB server, Norheim Server 136. During this 60-day event, players need to collaborate and conquer. From gems, philosopher stones, to superior resources pack, the top 100 players will earn in-game goodies to the value of hundreds of US dollars.
Legion of Frostborne 1.8 Update
As the next round of Legion of Frostborne was about to enter its war phase, another update arrived amidst the ice and snow on January 13th.
The update has brought the official start of the Season system, applying to all servers. As each server progresses through the seasons, the maximum level of buildings, Immortals, troops and dragons increase, and new Academy Technology and Lord Talent branches are unlocked.
New Alliance tactics are available in the regular season of Legion of Frostborne, and can be used by Alliance Leader (R6) or Officers (R5) to provide all Alliance members with protection on the battlefield.
An “Illusion Battlefield” special topic is added to the Daily Talks to gather and disseminate the latest competition news, allowing players to learn and discuss strategies with each other. Players are also able to pre-arrange different troop formations that can be switched between for different combat situations.

Macau Government Extends Lottery Concession of Macau Slot Until 5 June 2026

The Macau government has extended the lottery concession of Macau Slot Co Ltd for one year until 5 June 2026.
The concession renewal was published in the official gazette on Wednesday. Further extensions may be granted, subject to mutual agreement between the Macau government and Macau Slot.
As part of the renewal terms, Macau Slot is required to gradually reduce its number of non-resident employees and actively collaborate with the government to recruit and retain local talent.
Earlier this month, the government held a meeting with Macau Slot representatives to discuss the extension. According to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the city’s industry regulator, Macau Slot committed to cutting 35% of its non-local, non-skilled workforce—equivalent to 26 positions—by the first quarter of 2026. The company also pledged to make further reductions to its foreign labour quota in the future. Currently, non-local staff account for 15% of the total workforce at Macau Slot.
“Over the past year, despite fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and slower economic recovery in neighbouring regions, the local economy has remained relatively stable under the guidance of the Macau SAR government’s policies,” Macau Slot said in a statement.
“Looking ahead, we are committed to further diversifying our sports betting products to meet customer demand, while upgrading our information technology infrastructure to stay current and deliver more comprehensive sports betting services.”
