Something we're very excited about this week is Anuxi's <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=133304836" target="_blank">Treasure of the Shaper Divine Chest</a>. Look at all that stuff! This marks the first Chest entirely composed of items created by a single Workshop Contributor. We cannot wait to see what else comes out of the Dota 2 Workshop community.

In Tournament news, <a href="http://www.dota2.com/store/itemdetails/101817554" target="_blank">The Defense 3</a> Grand Finals are this weekend and if you happen to be one of the Immortal Highlanders that are still around since the start of the tournament then you are in for a treat! Virtus Pro faces Fnatic in a Best of Five that is sure to produce many memorable moments that should last until the next Defense ends or the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe" target="_blank">heat death of the universe</a>, whichever comes first.

Good news to you G-1 League fans! The fine fellows over <a href="http://www.17173.com/" target="_blank">17173</a> have added Inky the Hexapus courier to their <a href="http://www.dota2.com/store/itemdetails/135034708" target="_blank">tournament pass</a>. Early adopters should find Inky awaiting in their inventories when they log in -- make sure to bring a treat.

Finally, are you in Serbia? Do you like Dota 2? Do you have what it takes?! *insert guitar riff here* KGB-HQ is running a 32 team tournament at their cafe in Belgrade, Serbia. Interested?

Exodus Of The Machine is a new strategic journey game by Arcen Games, set in the universe of the cult classic AI War: Fleet Command. Lead a team trapped on a hostile planet and desperately pursuing a threat which could destroy humanity outright.

Vicious predators, clashing armies, and political intrigue stand in your way. None can stand before your modern weapons, but where do you use your limited ammunition? Do you resort to diplomacy, or native weapons? Will you fall to disease or run out of food stores? Can you get to the end in time?

Exodus combines Arcen's love of all things strategic within a framework reminiscent of our old favorite Oregon Trail.

This is a title we've been quietly working on. It's "coming soon," which is a vague way of saying that it will be in 2013 but that we don't want to commit to a date yet. We wanted to share a bit with you about what we're working on, but right now the above is all we're comfortable revealing. We'll have something a bit more meaty for you next time!

If you are looking for people to play AI War with, give the latest <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/app/40400/discussions/0/882962698518931451/">AI War Meetup Sortie Fall 2012</a> a look!
