Absurd Ventures has also secured strategic investment from South Korean publisher Smilegate, strengthening its position in the industry.
More Details Coming Soon
Absurd Ventures promises to reveal more information later this year, including updates on Absurdaverse, A Better Paradise, and American Caper.
Fans eagerly awaiting Houser’s return to gaming will soon get their first look at his new vision beyond Rockstar Games.
