Leslie Benzies, the mastermind behind Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, unveils his latest creation: MindsEye. This high-octane spy thriller, showcased at PlayStation's State of Play, boasts striking similarities to Benzies' previous work. Expect intense third-person gunfights, stunning cinematic sequences, and thrilling drive-by shootings. Witness the action in the cinematic trailer below.
MindsEye centers on Jacob Diaz, a soldier implanted with the titular MindsEye neural device. This implant, however, has fragmented his memories, leaving him with disorienting flashbacks of his military past. His quest to uncover the truth about his identity pits him against a formidable AI-powered military force.
MindsEye has been in development for several years. Following his departure from Rockstar, Benzies established Build a Rocket Boy, collaborating with IO Interactive (Hitman developers) on this AAA action-adventure title. MindsEye will also launch alongside the Everywhere platform, previously described as a "big-budget Roblox" following a studio visit in 2024.
While the new trailer omits mention of Everywhere, MindsEye promises an exhilarating action experience from a gaming legend. Anticipate its release sometime in Summer 2025.
