Absurd Ventures, the studio created by former GTA boss Dan Houser, has announced that its upcoming video game universe, A Better Paradise, will kick off with an audio series that’s scheduled to release on June 10 on all major podcast platforms.
The upcoming audio series, written and created by Houser, will be called “A Better Paradise: Volume One: An Aftermath” and will consist of 12 episodes. It will feature various actors, such as Andrew Lincoln from The Walking Dead, Shamier Anderson from John Wick: Chapter 4, and Rain Spencer, who starred in The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Volume One: An Aftermath is just the first of many projects the studio is working on. The studio has confirmed that various TV shows and video games are set in the same world as A Better Paradise.
According to a press release, the upcoming series tells the story of the “ill-fated development of an ambitious but addictive digital game-world project led by inventor and psychologist Dr. Mark Tyburn.” Eventually, the team abandoned the project, only for it to be discovered by someone else.
Absurd Ventures was created in 2021, a year after Houser left Rockstar. What’s notable about Houser’s newly created studio is, as this news suggests, that its work will be featured in various mediums. Future projects may also include animation and comic books.
