Fans of Grand Theft Auto finally got something big to talk about. On September 28, 2025, Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games, spoke publicly about GTA 6 for the first time. This happened during a special interview at LA Comic Con. The event was streamed live and watched by fans around the world.

Dan Houser left Rockstar Games in 2020. He was the lead writer for almost every GTA game since the late 1990s. He also helped create Red Dead Redemption and Bully. After leaving, he started a new company called Absurd Ventures. Since then, he has stayed quiet about Rockstar and its games. That changed during this interview.

IGN’s Senior Editor Ryan McCaffrey hosted the talk. He asked Houser how it feels to see GTA 6 being made without him. Houser replied, “It’s not going to be a story I wrote or a character set that I developed. But I think it’s going to be exciting. The game will be great, I’m sure.” He also said, “I wrote the last 10 or 11 of them. I think the world probably had enough GTA from me.

Houser’s words gave fans hope. Even though he is not part of the new game, he believes in the team at Rockstar. He said it will be strange to play a GTA game without knowing all the secrets. But he trusts the new writers and developers to do a good job.

The interview also touched on Houser’s past work. He said Red Dead Redemption 2 was his proudest project. He liked its emotional story and strong characters. He also mentioned that Bully never got a sequel because of “bandwidth issues.” That means the team was too small to work on many games at once.

GTA 6 was first announced for release in 2025. But now, it has been delayed to May 26, 2026. Rockstar says it will be the biggest game launch in history. The trailer and screenshots have already created huge excitement online.

Houser’s new company, Absurd Ventures, is working on many creative projects. These include a graphic novel, an audio drama, and a new comic series called American Caper. It will come out in November 2025. The company also started a game studio called Absurd Marin. It includes developers from other famous studios.

This interview was short—only about 15 minutes—but very important. It was the first time Houser spoke openly about GTA 6. Fans now know he had no role in the new game. But they also know he supports it. His words gave confidence to players who were worried about the future of the series.
