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

by Jacob Feb 28,2025

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.

The new trailer showcases a high-octane spy thriller boasting striking similarities to Grand Theft Auto, featuring third-person shooting mechanics, stunning cinematics, and intense drive-by sequences. Watch the cinematic trailer below.

MindsEye centers around Jacob Diaz, a protagonist equipped with a neural implant – the MindsEye – that has fragmented his memories, leaving him with disjointed flashbacks from his military past. His quest to uncover the truth about his history leads him into conflict with an AI-powered military force.

The game, announced several years ago, is a AAA action-adventure title developed by Benzies' studio, Build a Rocket Boy, in collaboration with IO Interactive, the creators of Hitman. It 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. The game is slated for release sometime in Summer 2025.
