As a long-time fan of story-driven action-adventure games and a devotee of Rockstar Games, I must admit that I am quite intrigued by the news of Dan Houser’s new venture with Absurd Ventures. With the team behind Grand Theft Auto joining forces to create an unannounced project, it’s hard not to feel a sense of anticipation, especially since Mr. Houser has proven himself as a master of this genre.
Approximately twenty developers who previously worked at Ascendant Studios have recently moved to Absurd Ventures, a multimedia company established by one of the co-founders of Rockstar Games, Dan Houser. This news emerges after a challenging period for Ascendant, which launched Immortals of Aveum in August 2023, a game that struggled to make an impact in the market.

Under the leadership of Dan Houser, Absurd Ventures is setting up a new studio named Absurd Marin, situated in California. It’s been revealed that approximately 20 ex-employees from Ascendant Studios will be working on an as-yet undisclosed narrative-focused action-adventure game at this new studio.
Lately, Absurd Ventures’ team unveiled two interconnected media worlds: A Better Paradise and American Caper, which are not confined to game development. Instead, Dan Houser’s firm will initially focus on releasing a comic book and a radio show.
According to recent updates, Absurd Marin is set to take charge of the company’s debut video game project. At this point, details are scant, but it appears to be a third-person, open-world game. Given his role in the development of Grand Theft Auto, this new project seems reminiscent of that series.
It appears that Ascendant Studios might be facing difficult times ahead. Recent events such as mass terminations and temporary work suspensions have left many employees in limbo, suggesting a possible closure in the future.
