Rockstar co-founder and veteran Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto lead Dan Houser seems to be working on a lot of things at his new studio, Absurd Ventures, and one of them is a new sci-fi IP that might just be the setting of the big open-world action game that just got outed in a job listing.
In 2023, Absurd Ventures made its formal debut as a studio dedicated to building new IP focused on strong narratives - and while video games were mentioned as a possibility for the studio, it wasn't clear how thoroughly gaming would tie into the whole endeavor. In fact, the studio's first announced projects were a graphic novel and a podcast series. But earlier this week, a job listing confirmed that an "open-world action-adventure game" is in the works at the studio.
