His company Absurd Ventures has announced the first cast lineup for the satirical Absurdaverse universe.
The project includes two directions: a major AAA open-world game with a strong emphasis on narrative, as well as an animated series. Houser is working on it together with longtime partner Lazlow Jones, with whom they created satirical radio and television programs in GTA games.
Because of the satirical and dark humor, well-known American comedians were brought onto the project. Among them are Rachel Dratch, Dan Soder, Ari Matti, Annie Lederman, Yamaneika Saunders, and Steph Tolev.
According to the role descriptions, Rachel Dratch will play a podcast host focused on conspiracy theories, Dan Soder an eccentric HR specialist, and Samantha Alton a deranged MMA fighter.
The studio says that the game will feature hundreds of characters.
The first presentation of the world will take place on May 7, 2026, in Los Angeles as part of the Netflix Is A Joke festival. The game's release date and platforms have not yet been announced.
