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 Benzies' previous work. Expect intense third-person gunfights, stunning cinematic sequences, and thrilling drive-by shootings. Witness the action in the trailer below.
MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, a protagonist burdened by a neural implant – the MindsEye – that fragments his memories, leaving him with disjointed flashbacks of his military service. His quest to uncover the truth about his past pits him against a formidable AI-powered military force.
The game, a AAA action-adventure title, has been in development for several years. Benzies, after departing Rockstar Games, established Build a Rocket Boy and collaborated with IO Interactive (Hitman developers) on MindsEye. It 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.
