Dan Houser He is an important figure in the history of GTA and his team, Co-founder of Rockstar Games is also one of the creators of the series, so it’s especially interesting to know about this character His new company, Absurd Ventures, is launching two new games.
The Absurd Ventures team was formed in 2021, shortly after Houser left Rockstar Games, apparently also related to some disagreements with his brother Sam Houser (the other founder of GTA Studios). Between then and now, little is known about the work the company is doing.
The original idea was to make games that would be able to expand into cross-media productions and therefore reach beyond just the video game realm, and something more concrete should be coming soon.
Two completely different games
In a recent interview published by Variety, Dan Houser reported on the first two projects taking shape for his new company, which aims to become a “multimedia empire.”
One of them is defined as “Comedy open world“And should be presented in more detail in the coming months. This seems to be a very narrative and character-focused game, with a certain leaning towards humor, or at any rate towards a lighthearted and fun story.
Even without GTA 6, Sam and Dan Houser would be getting richer
On the contrary, another project tends to Science fiction with a dystopian settingApparently: It’s about the development of a video game that’s apparently “going very badly,” and about an artificial intelligence that has become sentient and out of control.
That’s all we know so far, but it at least confirms that Absurd Ventures is still around and is actually developing something on the gaming side of things, so we’re waiting to find out more.
