Leslie Benzies, the mastermind behind Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption, unveils his next project: MindsEye. This high-octane spy thriller, showcased in a recent PlayStation State of Play trailer, bears a striking resemblance to his previous work. Expect thrilling third-person gunfights, stunning cinematic sequences, and intense drive-by shootings. View the cinematic trailer below.
MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, a protagonist equipped with a neural implant – the MindsEye – that has fragmented his memories, leaving him with disorienting flashbacks from his military service. His quest to uncover the truth about his past pits him against an advanced AI-powered military force.
The game, in development for several years, is a collaboration between Benzies' Build a Rocket Boy studio and IO Interactive, the creators of Hitman. Initially announced as a AAA action-adventure title, MindsEye will also integrate with 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. Expect its release sometime in the summer of 2025.
