Rockstar Games cofounder Dan Houser has launched a new media company, Absurd Ventures, which aims to create IP across media in games, film, books, graphics novels and podcasts. The move comes three years after Houser left the landmark “Grand Theft Auto” video game developer.
“Finally, an American institution everybody can hate,” reads the Absurd Ventures website, which went live Thursday. The company is headquartered in Santa Monica.
“Absurd Ventures is building narrative worlds, creating characters and writing stories for a diverse variety of genres, without regard to medium, to be produced for live-action and animation; video games and other interactive content; books, graphic novels, and scripted podcasts,” per a press release from the company.
