Introducing Absurdaverse: Dan Houser’s Next Grand Adventure Beyond GTA 5
“Get ready to encounter some novel types of heroes (and witness their struggles).”
Rockstar Games co-founder and GTA 5 writer Dan Houser has revealed details about his latest endeavor: Absurdaverse.
We already knew that Absurd Ventures, the media company that Houser set up after his exit from the Grand Theft Auto studio in 2020, was previously developing an “open world action-adventure”. However, this is the first occasion that we get a glimpse of “a few characters” that will feature in a “story-focused action-comedy adventure set within the Absurdaverse.”
“A first glimpse of a few characters from the Absurdaverse. Get ready to encounter some novel heroes (and observe their struggles),” the team hinted.
“More updates will arrive this year regarding our initial animation projects and our unique story-focused action-comedy adventure game currently being developed at Absurd Ventures.”
That’s not all, however. We will also discover more about two additional “storytelling universes” – Better Paradise and American Caper – later this year. The latter has been described as a “new crime fiction universe.”
Recently, we learned that after a challenging year for Immortals of Aveum developer Ascendant Studios, a “core team” of approximately 20 employees has now transitioned to Absurd Ventures, forming a brand-new studio designated as Absurd Marin.
