Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games and former writer of fan-anticipated titles like GTA 6, announced in 2021 that he had created a new studio, Absurd Ventures. According to job listings, they are now hiring for a new game that resembles Grand Theft Auto in several ways.
It’s worth remembering that when he founded his studio, Dan said he would dedicate his work to creating “weird shit from desperate people,” along with creativity and innovation in the gaming market. So, will this new project from Houser surpass the works that made him famous and well-known in the video game industry, creating a new game franchise?
Absurd Ventures is Expanding Beyond Their GTA 6-Like Project Red Dead Redemption 2 was the last game released that had Houser as a writer.

Fans are concerned over Red Dead Redemption 2's crunch time figures.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Rockstar's Dan Houser stated that he and some members of the team were working some very long weeks in order to finish Red Dead Redemption 2.
“We were working 100-hour weeks," says Houser. He then elaborated on the incredible amount of work that goes into a game like this by stating that they even made "70 versions" the game's trailers and television commercials with the team's editors probably working on "several hundred" versions of those spots.
These comments caused some people to become quite concerned regarding what Rockstar expects of their employees. After all, we've heard quite a few stories in recent years about studios that will force their employees to endure hundreds of hours of crunch time in order to complete a project. More often than not, these hours...

Rockstar Games is teaming up with Facebook to provide in-stream rewards on its After Hours Live Stream Series, according to a news release.
The series will start Friday, and the premiere stream will be hosted by radio personality Lazlow Jones (who is also known for his in-game counterpart in the “Grand Theft Auto” series), along with others from the Rockstar Broadcast Team and “all-star” Facebook Gaming creators. You can watch it over on Rockstar’s official Facebook page.
The hosts will be showing off the new After Hours update, released Tuesday for “GTA Online.” In the new update, the objective is to make the hottest nightclub in Los Santos, with the help of recurring character Gay Tony. The nightclub serves as a front for Tony’s less-than-legal activities primarily, but that’s no reason to not make sure the venue is “packed to the rafters all day and all night” according to Rockstar.

Factoring in that a large portion of the Grand Theft Auto franchise deals with gangs in an attempted surreally realistic manner, it makes sense that Rockstar wants the dialogue to come across natural and authentic. Game producer Lazlow Jones revealed some aspects to Wgn Chicago today though that showcased just how serious the insanely ambitious development studio was in achieving an astonishing level of authenticity with its gangster related dialogue. Real life gangsters walking the streets today were brought on board to lend their voice and imput on the latest installment in the world renowned crime saga.
There’s black gangs, there’s Latino gangs, and we recruited a guy who gets gang members, like actual gang members, real gang members. I mean, El Salvadorian gang dudes with amazing tattoos and one of which literally had gotten out of prison the day before. And we brought these guys in to record the gang characters because,...
