What happened
According to Polygon, Dan Houser, the co-founder of Rockstar and a key figure behind the first five Grand Theft Auto games, has been focusing on his new venture, Absurd Ventures, which aims to create innovative and fresh gaming experiences. Houser has revealed that he is working on two new open-world games, one of which is a comedic open-world game set in the 'Absurdaverse', while the other is a dystopian sci-fi game. Notably, Houser has avoided watching the gameplay reveal of Grand Theft Auto 6, citing his desire to create something entirely new and avoid distractions that could influence his creative vision.
Why it matters for GTA 6 players
Houser's approach to game development and his decision to avoid playing other open-world games, including Grand Theft Auto 6, suggest that he is committed to creating unique and innovative gaming experiences that break away from established formulas.
What remains unclear
The release windows and official unveilings of Absurd Ventures' games remain unclear, although Houser has hinted that more information about the comedic open-world game will be available in the coming months.
