Leslie Benzies, the mastermind behind Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, unveils his latest creation, MindsEye, with a fresh look at the PlayStation State of Play.
A newly released trailer showcases MindsEye as a cutting-edge spy thriller bearing a striking resemblance to Grand Theft Auto. Expect thrilling third-person gunplay, stunning cinematic sequences, and intense drive-by shootings. View the cinematic trailer below:
Official press materials reveal that MindsEye centers around Jacob Diaz, a protagonist equipped with a neural implant – the MindsEye – which has fragmented his memories, leaving him with disjointed flashbacks from his military service. His quest to unravel the truth about his past leads him into conflict with an AI-powered military force.
MindsEye has been in development for several years. Following his departure from Rockstar Games, Benzies established Build a Rocket Boy, collaborating with IO Interactive (Hitman developers) on this AAA action-adventure title. MindsEye will also integrate with the Everywhere platform, previously described as a "high-budget Roblox" following a studio visit in 2024.
While the new trailer omits mention of Everywhere, MindsEye promises an exhilarating action experience from a leading figure in the gaming industry. Its release is slated for Summer 2025.
