According to IGN, Dan Houser will be interviewed on-camera by Senior Executive Editor Ryan McCaffrey on September 27, from 12 pm to 12:30 pm PT at the South Hall at 2025 L.A. Comic Con.

Speaking to IGN about his upcoming interview, he said:

"I am very honored to take the stage at Absurd Ventures’ home town comic convention, Los Angeles Comic-Con, with IGN Executive Editor Ryan McCaffrey. I look forward to speaking about all our upcoming, varied projects at Absurd including our two open world video games, the American Caper comic book series, which is my new take on crime fiction storytelling making its first appearance this fall, and the upcoming novel of A Better Paradise." "As well as indulging in a trip down memory lane speaking about the characters and worlds of GTA, Red Dead, Bully and other games that I had the privilege to write and direct over the years."

Dan Houser co-founded Rockstar Games with his brother, Sam Houser, back in 1998. After working for 22 years, Dan finally decided to part ways with the company in 2020 to start his own company called Absurd Ventures in 2021.

Though he did work as a co-writer on GTA 5 and even Red Dead Redemption 2, there is no official confirmation whether he worked on GTA 6's initial story before leaving or not.
