It has 20 people, including the head of Ascendant Studios.
Studio Absurd enterprises Founder of Rockstar Dan Houser is assembling a new team. It is called Absurd Marine and consists of employees Ascendant Studioswhich became a hit after the release of the debut game The Immortals of Aveum significant financial difficulties.
Absurd Marin starts with 20 employees. The big name is Bret Robbins, who leads the team and also leads Ascendant. The developers will be working on a story-driven adventure based on a new IP. The project will not be connected to the open-world game from the A Better Paradise universe that the parent studio is working on. The team should grow over time.
The last news about Ascendant Studios dates back to April. Most of the staff was sent on forced leave, and the studio found itself in a kind of limbo. The reason for this situation is the financial failure of the game Immortals of Aveum, which – despite being sponsored by the EA Originals label – failed to justify its huge budget of 125 million dollars. We have no information about the end of the study, but it is quite possible that due to the creation of Absurd Marina, this is exactly the fate that will befall him.
Absurd Ventures is still a relatively new studio, founded by former Rockstar Games CEO Dan Houser. It was initially pitched a couple of non-game projects, but is now already developing the aforementioned open-world game.
