id Software will add a free Slaughter Mode to DOOM: The Dark Ages - Revelations in November. Hugo Martin announced it on Slayers Club Live. There is no date inside the month.
It is endless single-player: escalating demon waves across several arenas, cosmetics, and a personal best by score and by round reached.

Movement
Race mode (the current focus)
Coming next
It's a solo project, still rough around the edges. I'm looking for feedback from people who know how movement should feel: acceleration, air control, anything that feels off.

Reddit user deadmanwonderland_23 says a $1,099 Walmart order for one MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB arrived as four. They are the Frieren edition, listed at $1,259 on MSI's own store, so the four boxes are a bit over $5,000. The post shows four identical cartons. Walmart has not confirmed the shipment, and the buyer has not said whether the extra three were reported.

Modder gebdag has put path tracing on Grand Theft Auto 2, the 1999 top-down game. GTA2 RTX Remix, on Nvidia's RTX Remix, lets fires, explosions and gunfire cast light, adds a day-night cycle and 16:9, and aims frame generation at 60 fps. GTA 2 does not speak DirectX 9, so two DLLs translate. A copy of the game is still required. Rockstar gave version 9.6 away in 2004. Any GeForce RTX card can run it. A 4070 or faster is the suggestion.

Thieves in Fremont, California took two PlusAI trailers because they had Nvidia logos on them. They got about half a mile, then opened the doors. Each trailer held 20,000 pounds of sand, 40,000 pounds in all. PlusAI packs the trailers that way so its Nvidia-backed autonomous trucks can practice hauling freight. The computers were in the cabs, which stayed in the warehouse. Police recovered both trailers with the sand still in them. No arrests.

Andrew Willis, a producer on Doom: The Dark Ages and its Revelations expansion, described the July id Software layoff call in an interview with Kiwi Talkz.
Staff were told not to come into the office. About 95 people then got a Teams invite. Cameras off, chat disabled, everyone muted except Marty Stratton.
I received a Microsoft Teams invite, there were about 95 of us, no cameras on with chat disabled, everyone muted except Marty Stratton. He took about 50 seconds to say that if you were on this call, your positions were eliminated. He said it wasn't a reflection on our performance.
He said that was the last direct word from id or Microsoft for many of them, and that people were not allowed back in to collect their things.

AGENT, ash, cYpheR, pavel, and Latrommi can play, but none of them can team with each other. Each has to pick a partner from outside that five. AGENT and ash won TDM 2v2 #4 and #5, so they cannot defend the title together. cYpheR, AGENT, ash, pavel, k1llsen, cherepoff, baksteen, and Spart1e.Today’s update marks a new chapter for Quake Champions as we transition the game from a free-to-play service to a paid application on Steam. Along with 30 Seasons worth of content to enjoy, all Champions are now unlocked for everyone, and most vanity content is available to equip. Battle Passes and microtransactions have been removed. Quake Champions is now available for one low price on Steam. No additional content updates are planned at this time. If you previously played Quake Champions on Steam, the new version will appear in your Steam Library at no additional cost.
United Kingdom won the QL CTF 4v4 European Nations Cup on 20 September, the first leg of the Fall Nations Cup.

In Group B, k1llsen went 3-0 and cYpheR finished second at 2-1.Adam "SyncError" Pyle told the official Quake Discord on 20 September that he is no longer working on Quake Champions updates. The four-week return that started 31 August, to finish 1.31, is over.
On 18 September he had stopped new code and was only answering QA tickets for features already in testing. This goes past that. A player suggested more changes for 1.31. He replied:
I'm no longer working on QC updates.
Asked whether to retire the Discord channel, he posted a farewell GIF and added:
Everyone's dad dies eventually. It's time for me to leave you.
He said the dad is dying. Turns out he was just dying to leave.
No replacement developer is named. He has not said whether 1.31 ships, or whether it is the last QC update. That build still drops the Store, Battle Pass, and paid currencies, and unlocks most vanity.

Bloodrun BUILD 2026-09-12, a week after the UI rebuild. Mouse accel: Q3, IOQ3, and QL schemes now have independent settings. QL gets a speed threshold, power, and cap, including negative accel. Zoom can use its own scheme or none. Zoom sensitivity no longer leaks into hipfire.
CTF is a menu mode with a capture limit. Carriers drop the flag on the ability button, 2s before they can pick it up again, teammates can take it immediately. Picking up a flag cancels an active ability. Bots now attack flags, escort teammates, and intercept carriers. Ultra Nightmare bots hunt when behind. Nav points on 11 maps.
Also: ten HUD crosshairs with per-weapon shapes, a duel scoreboard, server-side rewind toggle per hitscan (MG, SG, LG, RG), pickup radius 80 to 75, BSP 47 support.
PTS MOSCOW 1-3. Build on Google Drive and Yandex Disk.
