Dan Houser, who was a co-founder of Rockstar Games (who make the GTA games), has recently announced a new company called Absurd Ventures. Its official website is rather cryptic, yet some details have been revealed about its goal thus far. For those who don't know, Dan Houser was an extremely important figure in Rockstar Games' early days.
He was a producer and head writer for the GTA series since Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, with his last work for the company being Red Dead Online. Absurd Ventures plans to create a new IP that will be available across multiple platforms, although no release date for this project has been revealed.

"We are building Absurd Ventures to create new universes and to tell great stories, wherever and however we can 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."
