In Rage 2's ongoing mission to assure everyone it's weird, it's now promising players the chance to bend digital reality to their will with a bunch of cheats, including the classic instagib and an ejector seat that works entirely the wrong way around.

According to an extensive Kotaku piece on the developer's internal struggles. Dragon Age 4 development was restarted under a new team as BioWare rushed to prepare Anthem for launch.

BioWare criticizes report about troubles in Anthem's development
https://www.pcgamer.com/bioware-denies-crunch-was-a-major-topic-among-employees/
A scathing Kotaku report on the development of Anthem has elicited a very quick and dismissive response from BioWare, which said that it stands "wholeheartedly" behind every current and former member of the development team, including studio leadership. The developer chose not to take part in the story because it "felt there was an unfair focus on specific team members and leaders," it said, and it "didn’t want to be part of something that was attempting to bring them down as individuals."

QuakeCon 2019 will celebrate the 'Year of Doom'
https://www.pcgamer.com/quakecon-2019-will-celebrate-the-year-of-doom/
This year's QuakeCon will go heavy on the Doom, the famed FPS that preceded the big bring-your-own-computer show's namesake. The reason is that 2019 is, somewhat loosely, the 25th anniversary of the original Doom—it was released in December 1993—and Bethesda isn't going let the "Year of Doom" go uncelebrated.

Bizarre physics puzzler Human: Fall Flat now has Steam Workshop support
https://www.pcgamer.com/bizarre-physics-puzzler-human-fall-flat-now-has-steam-workshop-support/
Human: Fall Flat, the game about throwing alarmingly physics prone little people around puzzle-oriented maps, now has Steam Workshop support. That means players can now create their own maps, their own skins, their own lobbies, and probably much more besides.

Serious Sam: Tormental lets you invade a demigod's brain
https://www.pcgamer.com/serious-sam-tormental-lets-you-invade-a-demigods-brain/
Serious Sam is temporarily shifting perspectives as it takes a trip into series antagonist Mental's twisted mind. In Serious Sam: Tormental, instead of fighting an alien demigod and his angry minions in the real world, you'll be fighting your way through the place where he comes up with all his ideas for conquest and other nasty things. And it's a twin-stick roguelike, now.

Escaped Chasm is a free game about loneliness from Undertale's artist
https://www.pcgamer.com/escaped-chasm-is-a-free-game-about-loneliness-from-undertales-artist/
Escaped Chasm is a brief but striking RPG-maker game from animator and illustrator Temmie Chang, whose work you might recognise from Undertale. It's a lonely and occasionally unsettling yarn, but if you don't mind feeling a bit uneasy for 20 minutes, you can grab it from Itch.io. It's free, but you can also choose to pay.

Civilization 6 now has cross-platform cloud saving between PC and Switch
https://www.pcgamer.com/civilization-6-now-has-cross-platform-cloud-saving-between-pc-and-switch/
The future is finally here. Our jetpacks only work in the water and our hoverboards are crap, but at least we can now save a game of Civilization 6 on PC and then continue it on the loo, bus or wherever else we don't normally find PCs, all thanks to the Switch and the new cross-platform cloud saves.

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition and HD texture packs are out now
https://www.pcgamer.com/borderlands-game-of-the-year-edition-and-hd-texture-packs-are-out-now/
While you wait for Borderlands 3, which is coming to the Epic Games Store in September, you might fancy returning to the first two games and the moon-based Pre-Sequel. They've all been given a bit of a makeover today in the form of Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, a definitive and remastered version of the original, and HD texture packs for Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel.

Borderlands 3 Vault Hunter abilities, volcano guns, and other details revealed
https://www.pcgamer.com/borderlands-3-vault-hunter-abilities-volcano-guns-and-other-details-revealed/
As you may have instinctively guessed after hearing a faint humming sound caused by the entire population of Reddit groaning in unison, Borderlands 3 is releasing on the Epic Store on September 13, and not Steam—at least not until spring 2020. The announcement came with details that have nothing to do with when and where Borderlands 3 will be available, though, and I've collected those here.

Borderlands 3 has a season pass and multiple editions, including a $250 chest
https://www.pcgamer.com/borderlands-3-has-a-season-pass-and-multiple-editions-including-a-dollar250-chest/
Borderlands 3 won't launch on Steam, but everything else about it is typical for a big budget PC game release, which means that of course there are four increasingly pricey editions to chose from.
The standard version will be $60, and just includes the game, though pre-ordering any edition gets you "gold weapon skins" and a "weapon trinket," which is presumably a trinket one puts on a weapon.
