Leslie Benzies, the renowned former lead game designer behind iconic titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, is gearing up to unveil his latest project, MindsEye. This much-anticipated game received a fresh showcase during the PlayStation State of Play, offering fans a glimpse into what promises to be a thrilling high-tech spy adventure.
The newly released trailer for MindsEye showcases elements that echo the style of Grand Theft Auto, featuring third-person gunplay, high-end cinematics, and dynamic drive-and-shoot sequences. You can immerse yourself in the cinematic experience by watching the trailer below.
According to the official press release, MindsEye centers around the protagonist Jacob Diaz, who is equipped with a neural implant known as the MindsEye. This implant, however, has disrupted his memory, leaving him with fragmented flashbacks of his military past. Driven by a quest to uncover the truth about his history, Jacob embarks on a mission that pits him against an AI-powered military force determined to thwart his efforts.
MindsEye has been in the works for several years since Benzies left Rockstar Games to establish his new studio, Build a Rocket Boy. In collaboration with Hitman developer IO Interactive, Benzies is crafting what is billed as a AAA action-adventure game. Alongside MindsEye, the project will introduce the Everywhere platform, which we've previously described as a "Big budget Roblox" following a visit to their studio in 2024.
While the new trailer did not delve into details about Everywhere, MindsEye itself appears poised to be an exhilarating addition to the action game genre, courtesy of one of its most celebrated creators. Fans can look forward to the release of MindsEye in the summer of 2025.
