Get The Lego Legend Of Zelda Deku Tree Model Before It Retires

If you have Lego's Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree set on your wishlist, you may want to pick it up soon as Lego has announced that it's retiring the set later this year--which is surprising, since the Lego Great Deku Tree set only launched at major retailers in January 2025. It's now listed on the Last Chance to Buy page on Lego's online store. Lego doesn't specify exactly when the set will be gone for good, but some Lego fansites are predicting July, giving you a bit of time to scrape up the cash to add it to your collection.

Lego The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 (2,500 Pieces) $300 | Retiring Soon

Note that retired sets don't immediately sell out; it just means Lego will no longer be making more after they're retired. In many cases, you'll still be able to find retired sets sold by third-party sellers, though often at markups well above their original MSRP--and considering this Zelda set is already a whopping $300, it's wise to pick it up while it's still available at that price. It's currently available at the Lego Store, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Barnes & Noble.

Subnautica 2 For PS5? Here's What We Know So Far

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 04:19

Subnautica 2 is out now in early access, and it's doing great, but if you're playing on the biggest modern console platform out there--PlayStation 5--the game is not available for you. Why is that? And is Subnautica 2 ever going to come to PlayStation 5? Here's what we know.

PS5 doesn't have a dedicated early-access program

Some have theorized that Subnautica 2 is not on PlayStation 5 as of yet because the game is in an early-access state and is not available with a 1.0 version. Steam has its own Early Access program, which is very popular, and Xbox has its own version called Game Preview.

Sony does support some early-access games, but not as widely as Steam or Xbox. For example, Palworld is available on PS5 in its current unfinished state, as is Path of Exile 2. It appears Sony accepts unfinished games on a case-by-case basis, but without a dedicated early-access program.

Crimson Desert Patch Fixes Damiane's Armor And Adds Powerful Finisher

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 04:16

Only three days have passed since Pearl Abyss shared the last update for Crimson Desert, but the publisher has now dropped another patch that makes some notable improvements to the game. It also fixes the issue with Damiane’s Elegant Carmine leather armor that sparked some backlash earlier this month.

According to the patch notes, the "abnormal" appearance of Damiane's new armor wasn't planned. The Elegant Carmine leather armor briefly covered up more of her body than usual, which caused some players to complain, and a few even review-bombed the game on Steam.

The new update also allows players to get rematches with more bosses in the game while adding a very powerful move for the main character, Kliff. With his new unarmed Blinding Flash Finisher, Kliff can finish a combo by going full superhero and unleash a hit that emits a massive shockwave. Damiane and Oongka have also been given their own versions of the Aerial Stab move. For animal lovers, there are new bears and wolves that can be used as mounts.

How To Unlock Metal Farms In Subnautica 2

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 03:49

Are you hoping to unlock Metal Farms in Subnautica 2? Let's face it: Most survival games will have you put in quite a bit of effort just to gather materials. However, with this particular contraption, you can sit back, relax, and come back later when you need to collect resources.

Subnautica 2 base guide - The Metal Farm

Those who are playing on Creative Mode have almost nothing to worry about. That's because that mode grants unlimited resources, which means you can build whatever you want without bothering to farm materials. On the other side of the coin, there's Survival Mode, where farming isn't just expected... it's mandatory.

Metal Farms location

The Subnautica 2 Metal Farms sub-zone is a long distance away from the Lifepod. It's approximately 2,100 meters east of the Lifepod, or 850 meters from the Alien Ruins marker (assuming you've progressed a bit further into the sandbox campaign). Before you head over there, though, make sure you've already built a Tadpole vehicle. Not only does it speed up underwater traversal, it also protects you from hostile creatures--i.e. If you're inside a vehicle, it will take damage instead of your character.

How To Get Past The Heat Barrier In Subnautica 2

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 03:21

If you travel roughly 250 meters away from the starting lifepod in Subnautica 2, you'll encounter a new biome that looks like an underwater desert. While you might be tempted to explore this biome, you'll get a message from your PDA that tells you to stop immediately. This biome has an extremely high temperature, and you'll receive a heat warning as soon as you get too close to it.

Naturally, with map space being so limited in early access of Subnautica 2, you'll want to equip whatever equipment is necessary to explore this new area. We'll show you what you need and how to get it so you won't see another heat warning again.

How to survive in hotter temperatures in Subnautica 2

Normally, the waters around the lifepod in Subnautica 2 are roughly 20 degrees Celsius. However, when you start to approach the hotter biome on the map, you'll see a red half-circle with a temperature above it that reads anywhere from 30 to 80 degrees. By default in Subnautica 2, your character can't withstand temperatures over 80 degrees, but even from 30-70 degrees, you'll start to take damage the longer you stay in these hotter waters.

Everything Coming To Subnautica 2 Early Access: Co-Op, Sprinting, And New Gameplay Systems

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 02:18

Subnautica 2 has made a big splash in early access for PC and Xbox Series X|S, and developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment has outlined several planned updates for its underwater survival adventure. The developer says that its first updates will focus on gameplay improvements that address systems and smaller features before it moves on to larger expansions to the game world.

Updates to the game world, biomes, creatures, resources, tools, and vehicles are in the pipeline, as well as the next chapter in the Subnautica 2 story. "The entire dev team has been working hard to put together some great quality-of-life fixes for our first update," the developer explained in a blog post. "This should help adjust and address some areas that need a little tweaking to make your Subnautica 2 experience even better."

Improvements to co-op are also coming in the game's 1.2 Early Access patch, with voice chat, player trading, revives, and more customization options being planned alongside improved HUD signals and base-building tools. Unknown Worlds stressed that the rough dates for each update can change. The studio also wants fan feedback to help shape the development of Subnautica 2, and is urging players to leave suggestions for what can be improved upon in the game through bug fixes, balance tuning, and optimization.

Nintendo Is Beating EA At Its Own (Cozy) Game

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 01:30

Since their introduction in 2006, I've largely viewed Miis as creepy little things. Sure, some of them are cute--anytime I buy a new Nintendo console, I spend a few minutes attempting to make my Mii a bit less offputting--but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a growing sense of dread in the pit of my stomach the first time I fired up my Wii U and saw them all run toward the screen en masse: a tiny stampede of ever-smiling, soulless bobbleheads. I silently judged fellow Animal Crossing: New Leaf players who chose to import their Mii's face rather than use the game's default settings to create a slightly less-cursed look for their player character. If, a few weeks ago, you'd asked me my opinion on Miis, I'd have probably responded that they occupy the same spot in my heart as those freaky little Bitmoji avatars people plaster all over Snapchat.

But after sinking over 50 hours into Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, my feelings have done a total 180. I'll admit it: I love Miis. Not just because they've gotten cuter (though they have). Not just because there are more Mii customization options available than ever before (though there are). I love them because in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Miis feel alive--far more alive than the characters I create in The Sims 4 ever have.

The customization was what first hooked me. Whereas The Sims 4 only has 24 hair-color options--something I've been baffled by for years--Tomodachi Life has 100 shades to choose from, all of which can be used for Miis' hair, skin, and eyes. Want a four-eyed Hearthian à la Outer Wilds? You got it. Want to create Adventure Time's Princess Bubblegum? Easy-peasy. Players can even choose a secondary hair color for an ombré or highlighted look, and bangs can be styled separately from the rest of a Mii's hair. The game's custom face-paint option allows for infinite possibilities only limited by the player's imagination and artistic skill.

How To Build And Use The Dive Elevator In Subnautica 2

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 01:17

Subnautica 2 brings back many of the same tools and objects from the first two games in the series, but the Dive Elevator is one of the brand new additions. This is among the most intriguing objects you can build in Subnautica 2, as it allows you much quicker access to lower depths in the ocean. However, before you can figure out how to use the Dive Elevator, you'll have to unlock its crafting recipe.

Below, you can see where to find its blueprints, its crafting recipe, and the best way to use the Dive Elevator in Subnautica 2.

Dive Elevator blueprint locations in Subnautica 2

To unlock the Dive Elevator, you have to scan two of its blueprints, which are located relatively close to the starting lifepod. You can follow the directions below to scan both of the Dive Elevator blueprints:

Bungie Is Looking To Expand Marathon's Appeal With "Chill" New PvE Modes

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 01:11

Marathon developer Bungie has revealed plans to revitalize the game ahead of its Season 2 launch and beyond. These plans include a massive amount of gameplay tweaks, though Bungie isn't getting too specific just yet. But what we do know--based on a recent blog post announcing the upcoming changes--is that a bigger focus on PvE gameplay is on the way.

"In Season 2, we will be experimenting with two modes, one at the beginning of the season and one towards the middle/latter half of the season," game director Joe Ziegler explained in the post. "The experimental mode at the beginning of the season will focus more on PvE, but with a light touch of PvP. The second experimental mode will be a PvE-only mode that’s focused on crews being tasked with completing objectives together and making some progress across matches."

Ziegler added that Bungie hopes to "evolve Marathon as a whole to be an experience where you can find more novel ways to play when you're stressed out from a nail-biting run and just need to cool off or have fun without the stress."

The Most Interesting Game Out There Just Got Easier To Start Playing

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 01:06

When you consider jumping into a 23-year-old game like Eve Online, the thought is daunting. Hundreds of thousands of veteran players with thousands of hours of Eve Online gameplay, located across thousands of systems, all with their own individual or faction-led objectives, with the capability to wipe you out in seconds without a second thought? Yeah, that's terrifying.

But there are plenty of reasons to persevere. There's a vast community, and despite the perception that they may be initially hostile, they're actually an incredibly warm bunch of people. There's the 70-year-old Council of Stellar Management elected member, who admits she may have slipped up a few times on her journey to the top. There are countless attendees at Fanfest who are only too eager to give you tips or welcome you into their faction. But how do you break through that initial wall to discover the community, and get involved in its epic battles?

With the Cradle of War expansion, which launches on June 9, new players, known as Capsuleers, will be introduced to a non-PvP starter space called Exordium. This area will hold new players' hands a little tighter, introducing them to the game's core mechanics, gradually increasing in complexity until they feel brave enough to spread their wings and explore the rest of Eve's vast universe.

Nintendo eShop Continues Its War Against Quality With This Dead Space And Gears Of War Knockoff

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 00:47

One of the biggest problems with the Switch 2 isn't availability or a looming price hike, but the platform's online marketplace. What should be a highlight reel of Nintendo exclusives, outstanding third-party titles, and rising indie stars is instead an eShop full of slop drops, and Dead Gears: Space of War is indicative of this problem. Scheduled to launch on May 29, the game's key art combines an on-the-nose use of the Cog symbol from Gears of War with the font of Dead Space, all positioned above what is likely an AI-generated image.

The game's trailer doesn't inspire much confidence either, as what should be a sizzle reel for Dead Gears: Space of War is instead a by-the-numbers gameplay teaser that has nothing in common with the art assets being used to promote this release. Not exactly surprising, given that publisher Consann Real Estate has in the past released numerous "Simulator" games and Fall Buddies--which probably has nothing to do with Fall Guys. Probably!

So what's going on here? Despite its efforts to keep slop to a minimum, the Nintendo eShop is more infested than ever before with games that range from low-effort asset flips to clones attempting to piggyback on the momentum set by popular games and franchises. While the eShop Highlights section is fairly safe to browse, once you scroll down to the other sections of the marketplace, it quickly becomes a slop-free-for-all when you start browsing.

Forza Horizon 6 Lets You Destroy Most Trees--With A Big Exception

Game News - Sat, 05/16/2026 - 00:29

Forza Horizon 6 is out now for people who pay extra ahead of its wider release on May 19, and one thing fans have noticed right off the bat is that they cannot destroy cherry blossom trees. This is notable because almost all other trees in the game can be smashed.

Design director Torben Ellert explained to Japan Times that this was a deliberate decision done to honor cultural traditions in Japan, which is where the game takes place.

"Almost all trees in the game are smashable to ensure that traversing the world map is both fun and rewarding. However, several tree types are not, for example, the cherry blossom trees, because they're an iconic element of Japanese culture," Ellert said, as reported by Dexerto.

New Uwe Boll Zombie Movie Riffs On House Of The Dead And 28 Years Later

Game News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 23:17

With video game adaptations being all the rage, it was only a matter of time before Uwe Boll returned to the world of filmmaking. The infamous director behind several video game movies like Postal and Far Cry, Boll has begun production on 23 Years Later: The Castle of the Dead, a spiritual successor to his 2003 adaptation of Sega's House of the Dead. The title for the movie is also suspiciously similar to the two 28 Years Later movies that were recently released.

Despite the crowdfunding push for the movie failing--no funds were collected from the whopping 39 backers who initially pledged $14,000 to the project--filming will kick off on September 5 in Germany. Jonathan Cherry and Ona Grauer, who starred in the original House of the Dead, are back for this project and Boll has teamed up with his longtime producer Michael Roesch to bring it to life.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Roesch said to THR that the film will be an upgrade when compared to House of the Dead, which was mostly set inside of a derelict home that was besieged by zombies. "We're upgrading from a house full of zombies to a castle full of zombies," Roesch said.

NFL Team Reveals Schedule With Halo After Using Minecraft Last Year

Game News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 23:14

It's another year, and that means another hilarious NFL release schedule video from the Los Angeles Chargers based on a video game. This time, the football organization utilized Halo Infinite to reveal its 18-week schedule that begins this September and runs through January 2027.

The social media team with the Chargers worked with Xbox to make the video--seen below--in Halo Infinite's Forge mode. In fact, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma responded on X with three lightning bolt emojis to the Chargers post, showcasing her support of the creative reveal. Each weekly matchup is teased on the Mission Select screen to start, with opponents getting fresh maps in Halo. There's a cool custom boat created, for example, to preview the team's matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 13.

Only Three Years Later, A Good Racing Game Is Being Delisted And Shutting Down Servers

Game News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 22:55

It's the end of the road for Lego 2K Drive. Developer Visual Concepts has announced that the game, released in 2023 to good reviews, will be delisted on May 19 with its multiplayer servers going offline on May 31, 2027.

After that, "All game functions requiring online servers will no longer function," the developer said. The game's store pages across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox disclosed the forthcoming changes, but the eShop page doesn't mention anything about delisting and server shutdown.

Lego 2K Drive was released on May 19, 2023, so the delisting date is exactly three years later. 2K has not disclosed why Lego 2K Drive is being delisted and losing multiplayer support, but some suspect it has to do with licenses and small player populations.

How To Get The Scanner Upgrade In Subnautica 2 - Bioscanner Guide

Game News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 22:30

Are you wondering how to get the Scanner upgrade in Subnautica 2? This device, known as the Bioscanner, doesn't just give you info about man-made objects and basic lifeforms. It actually lets you learn more about the enigmatic alien beings known as the Axum.

  • Subnautica 2 gear guide - Bioscanner upgradeSubnautica 2 gear guide - Bioscanner upgrade

    The Subnautica 2 Bioscanner upgrade can be yours a bit later in your run. That's because you have to venture far to the east of the Lifepod. If you're following our mini-walkthrough, then you need to check out the Alien Ruins well past the Tadpole Pens.

    Cicada Wreck location

    Once you reach the Alien Ruins, tackle a few objectives from the NOA Terminal until you learn about the Iso blackbox signal. It's actually east-northeast of the region, fairly close to the large alien turbine. If you look at the top of a plateau, you'll see the Cicada Wreck (EVA Prep). Inside, you'll find the Iso blackbox, Bioscanner, and other goodies.

How To Get The Sonic Resonator And Feedback Resonator In Subnautica 2

Game News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 22:22

Do you want to obtain the Sonic Resonator and Feedback Resonator in Subnautica 2? This device and its upgrade will surely be of vital use throughout the campaign. With it, you should be able to farm a lot of minerals and, much later in the game, unlock an integral ability.

Subnautica 2 gear guide - Sonic Resonator and Feedback Resonator

By default, your character can only gather materials by hand. Shortly thereafter, you should have the Survival Multitool, which lets you smack around smaller mineral deposits. But what about larger nodes? How do you actually destroy them? Well, that's where the Sonic Resonator comes into play.

Sonic Resonator fragment locations

The Subnautica 2 Sonic Resonator becomes available once you've scanned two of its fragments. Fortunately, they're both in the same location:

How To Activate The Alien Door And Alien Turbine In Subnautica 2

Game News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 22:06

Are you scratching your head because of the alien door in Subnautica 2? This curious-looking object is supposed to lead you to the inner recesses of the observatory. Likewise, just a short distance away, there's a massive turbine that seems to lack power. We've got all the details for you in this guide, but be ready for a few spoilers, too.

Table of Contents [hide]
  • Subnautica 2 guide - Alien observatory door and turbineSubnautica 2 guide - Alien observatory door and turbine

    The alien observatory door in Subnautica 2 is fairly close to the Alien Ruins biome/marker, which is a key objective once you're done with the Tadpole Pens. If you're just free-roaming, then the structure is actually 1,100 meters east of the Lifepod. Beware, though, because there are several enemies, including a deadly leviathan, along the way.

    Alien Ruins biome

    Upon reaching the alien observatory, you'll notice a pedestal and a doorway. You can't do anything yet, as you're told that the device requires a massive amount of power to function. For now, though, just explore the Alien Ruins biome and the abandoned base. You should also craft the Bioscanner upgrade and Feedback Resonator upgrade. Both of these are integral for the next tasks.

How To Craft The Wakemaker In Subnautica 2

Game News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 19:38

By default in Subnautica 2, mobility is very slow. While you can pull off some movement tech with the Air Bladder and the Dash ability, you'll be moving at a snail's pace for a majority of the early game. However, all of that changes when you gain access to the Wakemaker. The Wakemaker is Subnautica 2's version of the original game's Sea Glider, and it's an equipment item you can use to swim faster.

While you'll want to start using the Wakemaker as quickly as possible, there are a few different steps you need to take before that happens.

How to find the Wakemaker Fragments in Subnautica 2

Similar to the Tadpole, the Habitat Builder, and just about every other important tool in Subnautica 2, you can only obtain the crafting recipe for the Wakemaker after scanning all of its fragments. To craft the Wakemaker, you need to find three total fragments.
