Devil May Cry Just Got Its Most Promising Release Update Yet

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:39:26 +0000

It's been over 7 years since the release of the last entry in the Devil May Cry franchise, and while recent TV adaptations and even a mobile game have helped fill the void, it isn't the same as a brand-new release. With Devil May Cry 5 still being played these years later for its excellent combat systems and creative storytelling, the series clearly isn't being forgotten anytime soon.

Iconic tanks from the Horus Heresy revealed in this week's Warhammer 40k preview

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:31:40 +0000

It has been a whirlwind week for Warhammer 40k after the reveal of the upcoming Armageddon box. From pre-painted terrain to Tau lore implications to several new miniatures, it's an exciting time for reveals. Unfortunately for those hoping for more reveals (and fortunately for their wallets), this week's Sunday Preview only has two minor reveals. However, these three drops are anything but lightweight.

How to investigate the Tadpole Pens in Subnautica 2

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:21:46 +0000

In Subnautica 2, after discovering multiple Blackbox entries and learning more about the whereabouts of various colonists who came before you, your next task will be to investigate the Tadpole pens for more clues. However, there's a catch—we need a passcode to enter the facility.

Although you can explore the area's first couple of rooms, you can't fully unlock it until you find an access key to activate a locked door. Here's a deep dive on how to investigate the Tadpole Pens in Subnautica 2.

Tadpole Pens access keycode location in Subnautica 2

Investigating the Tadpole Pens requires visiting Zip's Blackbox location, 350 meters southwest of the facility. After arriving at the Tadpole Pens and exploring its interior, you'll find a separate signal marker leading you to "Blackbox - Zip." The access key is next to the Blackbox.

Screenshot by Destructoid I recommend having access to the Tadpole mini submarine before exploring these areas. Although you can swim around, the far distance make it a slow process, and the depths you'll be exploring will cause rapid oxygen drain regardless of your unlocked Adaptations. There are also multiple aggressive fish that'll attack you near the Tadpole Pens, Zip's Blackbox, and all throughout the volcanic ocean biome that you'll be exploring.

While past Blackbox locations just required beelining it to their quest markers, you'll instead want to detour into a cave hold in the ocean floor once you're about 150 meters away from its location.

As you approach the Zip Blackbox quest marker, you'll eventually reach a small cave with the Blackbox and a purple tentacle-like tendril on the ground. Atop this tentacle is a small databank label "Tziporah "ZIP" Malk" that, upon interacting with it, will grant you the access keycode for the Tadpole Pens doorway. You'll also find a Thermal Plant to scan.

Screenshot by Destructoid Once you interact with the databank, you'll earn a new entry, "Kurul Level Access Key." You can now exit the cave, make the trek back to the Tadpole Pens, and press the button in front of the hatch door to enter the rest of the facility. If you don't remember which direction to go, you'll still have the "investigate the Tadpole Pens" quest marker to lead the way until you unlock this last door.

Dead Space 4 Gets Long-Awaited Update For "Fervent Fan Base"

Sun, 17 May 2026 19:39:23 +0000

Dead Space is easily one of the most iconic horror franchises in the genre, which has gone on to inspire countless titles over the years with its grotesque monsters, hopeless atmosphere, and creative gameplay mechanics. While the franchise has more than enough potential to head a new sequel, and faced critical success with its latest remake, there's been no sign of a series revival via Dead Space 4 anywhere in sight.

How to clear Infested Bloom Clankers and clean Axum Vision Angel Comb in Subnautica 2

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:21:46 +0000

The final Angel Comb in Subnautica 2's early access build provides us with the Axum Vision, but to do so, we will have to deal with a severe wave of infestations. Clearing the infestation will activate the Angel Comb and allow us to get the modification.

Let's find out how to access the final Angel Comb.

How to clear the Infested Bloom Clankers (pink flowers) in Subnautica 2

Before we proceed with the puzzle, here's a list of items you'll need.

A Tadpole with the Depth Mk. I module enabled.
Feedback Resonator
Better fins, oxygen tanks, and Rebreather

Head east from the lifepod by following E on your compass. You'll come across the Research Center, aka Alien Ruins, at about 1300m from the lifepod. If you refer to the image below, you'll find a cave opening on the left.

Screenshot by Destructoid Head inside, and you'll find a juvenile Alien Comb that's inactive. There are two infested Bloom Clankers on each side; shoot at them with a Feedback Resonator.

Screenshot by Destructoid If you get too close, the Bloom Clankers will just close and won't take damage. This is what I do: aim at them, and close in slowly. Once the aim turns green, fire your shot.

Screenshot by Destructoid Once the first two Bloom Clankers are eliminated, follow the root of the Angel Comb going outside the cave. Head straight, and then turn right. Go straight, and you'll find one Bloom Clanker to your left, and one hidden in the wall behind the second juvenile Angel Comb.

Screenshot by Destructoid After eliminating both, return to the point where you took the right turn in the previous step. Head straight and keep following the roots. At one point, you'll go past the adult Angel Comb and find a cliff in front of you.

Swim above, and you'll find a broken-down lab. Head inside, and use the floor opening to head all the way down. There, you'll find two Bloom Clankers; eliminate both.

Screenshot by Destructoid Now, the only task left is to clean the adult Angel Comb. There will be two more infected Bloom Clankers. One of those will be located to the right of the Angel Comb. The other one is located at some distance to the left.

Screenshot by Destructoid Once you kill both, the senior Angel Comb will be cleaned, and it will become responsive. You can now place your hand to get the Axum Vision modification. With this modification, you can directly interact with Axum technology.

This dark fantasy TTRPG is all about sexy witches dominating each other

Sun, 17 May 2026 19:11:28 +0000

Tabletop RPGs have historically flirted with the forbidden throughout its existence. It has always amused me that there was such a "satanic panic" around Dungeons and Dragons when much edgier tabletop games already existed by the 90s. A quick glance at your average World of Darkness book promises more occult naughtiness than any DnD book from the pre-millenium. Riding the line between good game and good taste proves surprisingly difficult, but this upcoming TTRPG revels in the balancing act.

Classic Capcom Franchise Gets Official Update On Return, And It's Great News

Sun, 17 May 2026 18:39:21 +0000

Capcom has been on a legendary run these past few years when it comes to their biggest IPs like the Resident Evil and Monster Hunter franchises, but not all of their beloved brands have gotten the same amount of attention. Even with some upcoming remakes and rumors to look forward to on the horizon, many of Capcom's most promising franchises have been strangely absent when it comes to new releases.

Best players to use in TOTS Career Path Evolution

Here are some of my best recommendations to include in the evolution.

Doumbia Future Stars Evo
Malen Serie A POTM
Carlos Espi LaLiga POTM
Quaresma Ultimate Birthday Hero
Schade Winter Wildcards
Uzun Future Stars
Danjuma eLaLiga
Hazard Trophy Titans Hero
Kroupi Future Stars
Diaz TOTY HM
Endrick Ligue 1 POTM
Crouch Ultimate Birthday Hero
Amaiur Sarriegi

This is a three-stage evolution with just the Starter available right now. Stage two is now live, and the last stage will be available on the 20th. You'll need to take the same card through all three stages to provide the maximum upgrades. Don't put the evolved item in any other evolution, or else the TOTS Career Path upgrade's latter stages will be wasted.
