New Look at GTA Lead Designer's Techno Spy Thriller, MindsEye

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 gunfights, stunning cinematic sequences, and intense drive-by shootings. Witness the action in the cinematic trailer below.

Official press materials reveal that MindsEye follows 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 uncover 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 launch alongside 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. Anticipate its release sometime in the summer of 2025.
