It’s been nearly five years since Dan Houser, the co-founder of Rockstar Games and lead writer on most of the famed developer's biggest hits, left the company to start his own creative venture. And over the weekend, the company gave its social media followers a first look at the characters that will star in the ambitious multimedia gaming project.
Developer Absurd Ventures showed an ensemble of 20 unnamed characters, each of which will play a role in the broader fictions the team is called the “Absurdaverse.” Among the wide mix of diverse characters are a top hat-wearing gentleman who looks pulled straight out of a western, a skater kid, a skeleton man, a balding corpo-political type, a viking-style warrior, and what appears to be the personification of the Grim Reaper.
