A former GTA series lead isn’t actually working on new video games at his studio after all.
Back in June 22,Rockstar co-founder and GTA veteran Dan Houser departed the studioto found a new studio called Absurd Ventures. It’d be natural to assume Houser would be sticking to the video game business, but his two new projects at the studio, American Caper and A Better Paradise, actually aren’t video games at all.
“American Caper centers on two normal, badly damaged American families in a world of corrupt business, inept politics, and bungling crime,” afollow-up tweetfrom the studio reads. “American Caper will debut as a graphic novel that is being illustrated by renowned comic book artist Simon Bisley.”
Just earlier this week,Rockstar veterans Lazlow Jones and Michael Unsworth joined Houserat Absurd Ventures. Jones' credits include GTA, Red Dead Redemption, and Bully, while Unsworth worked as a senior writer on bothGTA 5andRed Dead Redemption 2.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for theGTA 6trailer to debut sometime next month in December.
