Dan Houser left Rockstar again in 2020 to kind a brand new studio in 2021, Absurd Ventures, and 4 years on the developer has revealed the identify of one other of its universes: Absurdaverse.
Ever since Houser arrange his new studio in 2021, there’s been questions round what it’s he is really going to do. We acquired some particulars final 12 months, together with concerning the studio’s first mission, A Higher Paradise, a sci-fi story beginning life as an audio fiction sequence, however will get a TV present and video video games too apparently. Earlier this week, although, Absurd Ventures launched a have a look at one among its different universes, placing a reputation to it too. It is referred to as the Absurdaverse, and all of the studio actually confirmed off was a have a look at “just some characters” from the universe. “Put together to satisfy some new sorts of heroes (and watch them undergo).”
It did say that there is “extra info to return this 12 months concerning the first animation tasks and about our unique story-driven action-comedy journey recreation set within the Absurdaverse, now in improvement at Absurd Ventures.” You’ll be able to see the character designs above, however to be sincere it is a fairly weak first impression. Not one of the designs are significantly interesting for those who ask me, and Absurdaverse as a reputation actually does really feel like one thing that solely a dad would discover cool. Nonetheless, it is early days so I might be confirmed mistaken!
The publish goes on to notice that you need to “keep tuned as properly for extra updates in 2025 about our different two storytelling universes, A Higher Paradise and American Caper,” so maybe there will be a bit extra to get enthusiastic about additional down the road.
After all, whereas Houser might not be at Rockstar, most individuals which might be followers of his work will likely be fascinated with GTA 6, because it’s supposedly set to be launched in late 2025. Whether or not that involves fruition, we’ll see, however I am certain it’s going to be all anybody will speak about at any time when it does come out (sorry, different video games).
