Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar, has recently announced his departure to start a new venture called Absurd Ventures. The company has already launched its first two projects, and they are not traditional games.
One of the projects is American Caper, a fictional universe centered around two American families. This world is filled with corporate conspiracies, politics, and crime. However, instead of a traditional video game format, the first installment will be released as a graphic novel, illustrated by the renowned artist Simon Bisley.
The second project, A Better Paradise, is a suspenseful thriller set in a futuristic and unsettling future. In collaboration with Q-CODE Media, the first installment will be an audio fiction consisting of 12 episodes.
Dan Houser’s reputation as the main writer for the Grand Theft Auto series has paved the way for his new venture. However, he has made it clear that Absurd Ventures is more than just a gaming company; it is a media company. The projects released by the company will encompass a diverse range of mediums, creating a cohesive narrative universe.
Meanwhile, Sam Houser, Dan’s brother and the current head of Rockstar Games, is about to unveil the highly anticipated GTA 6 in the coming days.
TLDR: Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar, has left to start Absurd Ventures. The company has launched two non-gaming projects: American Caper, a graphic novel, and A Better Paradise, an audio fiction. Absurd Ventures aims to create a cohesive narrative universe using various media formats. Sam Houser, Dan’s brother, is preparing to release GTA 6 soon.
